Back from a 4-day weekend tending the pond. We got 2.6" of rain between 2-8am this morning. Pond got to full pool and doing well. Was interesting going out at 3:30 checking on where all the water was going.. did have some soil washed out, not on the dam but bare areas from where the dozer skinned it.
So other than an evil red eye, what do folks think of this pumpkinseed/longear outta the creek? Looks awful colorful. It looked gravid to me. Bottom side was kinda swollen.
And does this guy count against the total biomass in the pond? He wasn't looking at the young fry at all, he was cruising for the feed pellets and would pop up and snarf them. I assume folks generally say to make soup out of it and don't leave it there?
