Sarah Parvin's Slab Lab - Restock. Rebuild. Regrow.

Sarah Parvin and her father have spent years chasing something most pond managers never attempt: growing the world's largest coppernose bluegill on their five-acre North Alabama pond.

What started as a happy accident after a devastating 2018 fish kill became their life's work. Then, in July, a second kill wiped out everything they'd built. Rather than accept defeat they both decided to stare defeat in the face and come roaring back anyway.

Texas Hunter feeders, fish pyramids, and a natural food web are central to their rebuild. Learn how Sarah manages feeding schedules, water quality, and habitat to grow trophy fish — and why reliability matters when every growing day counts.
