Went down to the pond this morning for a few minutes-
Found a hungry one-
She’s been eating good looks like-

Awesome...love pond fishing, when I don't get skunked!

...!

Nice one

Fattie!

Dang nice fish Steve!! That pond is healthy for sure.

Steve, didn’t you just build that pond a few years ago? Is that a transplant fish?

Very nice.

Yessir-
A year and a half ago-
I put in 7-8 bass I caught elsewhere, and they have reproduced well here-
I throw the cast net out now and then to see how things are growing, and I catch several generations of bass, catfish and various sunfish that I stocked previously-
It has lots of forage fish for the bigger ones to eat-
Here is a example of a couple of sunfish and a minnow they have to choose from-
A slice of bread for size scale-
There are tons of minnows in here this size and also lots of the sunfish, and I throw in fish food almost daily for the forage fish to eat and grow-

Nice fish

Are those coppernose bluegills?

Pond seems to be off to a good start!

I’m not sure Dan, the only fish I stocked from a fish farm were channel cat and fathead minnows, everything else I caught on a rod and reel or fish traps, but mostly from the couple of fish traps I would run from various places, It was fun just running the traps, that is where the variety came into play-

Nice stocky bass! And that minnow size will keep them bass growing for sure.

Nice fish.
