To me its a running dog with a rough coat long enough to hide its physic.
Camouflaged coat so it hard to see
As long as it fills the pot don't really matter how its bred.
Not like my dog although their were some real hairbags in his litter
I feed mine up the night before I take them out usually front half of rabbit but don't suffer many lay ups
Only flesh they not like is Charlie which is a shame:)
Spawning perhaps Walshie, they knock the crap out of them selves just to release their spawn mate
Or could be jumping to flush gills and grab a bit of oxygen.
Keep an eye on them because this heat is a killer for pond fish

Hey that was a good sized male tench, which would suggest that their are females in that water twice the size.
Looked like a good days fishing mate.

Wrong thread I know but, as been said you can save yourself a bit of doe if you bought in winter

If you want to avoid perch stick with corn.
There are other things, but think of it this way they are hoovering the bottom clean of silt and crap.
Bigger fish will move in and push them out sometimes you have to suffer the bits to get to the bigguns
