Wow that's pretty good for a pond that is only 1.25 acres. Sounds like good eating too!


I was doing a creel survey for my state DNR during my college days on a local reservoir. I wore a kaki shirt with the DNR patch etc. A big burly guy jumped out of the his boat and acted like he wanted to take a swing at me. He pulled a bag out of his boat with a trot line rig and wanted to know what the hell the DNR was doing putting these things into the lake as he stepped into it.

I had to explain the DNR does not use trot lines. God some people are ignorant!

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
