Max (the bass catching weenie dog) has taken up messing with the CC during feeding. Here is a Video I shot a few days ago with the little one feeding the fish with gramps. At about 4:15 in (7 min video) the weenie decided to join the CC. Max does this with CC everyday since then. [
Thanks Vamaz. The dog has been a part of their life since the fish hit the water. He normally sticks to the shoreline trying to catch frogs and fish. Here is a pic of him with one of his prize bass catches a few years ago.
Wow that was a lot of feed put into the pond there.
They clean all that feed up? Must be a good bunch of fish in there.
Cheers Don.
Thanks and Cheers DonoBBD. Yes the feed is completely cleaned up every day because of the high carrying capacity I am Using.
That is the Black Crappie pond that is loaded with about 1,750 CC (for predation) at the current time. The CC currently about 2#+ which would mean about 3500#+ of Fish. CC will eat around 3% of their BW in food at the current water temps (which would be 105# per day on a CC farm raised program). I am currently feeding 2 near full 5 gallon buckets or about 30# of food (10# per acre) per day. A full 5 gallon bucket weights in at around 17# of feed. 1 consist of 5 gal of 32% catfish food. The other 5 gal is a mixture of 36% fingerling feed and a Crushed feed for the smaller mouth fish .
The smaller fingerling feed is more for BG & CNB. Even some of the BCP are feeding on the small feed as well.
The crush feed is more for the gazillion feed trained Gams.
Think about how the girl will remember that for the rest of her life!

I believe that of all the folks here Sunil would know about own little worlds. This is not a slam, just sayin. Sunil was the first person to respond to my first post so I hold him in high regard.
Do nature a favor, spay/neuter your pets and any weird friends or relatives.
That is why I don't bring my wiener dog out to the pond. He jumps in when he sees any fish activity but he is not a good swimmer and quickly realizes he made a mistake. But, does the same thing the next time he is at the pond. Instincts, I guess.
