Cat, I really like the idea of adding HSB! I've been reading about them, and I think I will try to add some this fall!

Well, I finally got out to my pond with a cast net, and tried a few different spots along the bank. I've pulled out about 25 carp (mostly around my feeder at feeding time) and a handful of small BH. One thing that surprised me, is the number of small WC I caught in the net. This pond is about 1 acre, and I didn't stock them. Do I need to cull every WC I catch from this pond, along with the BH and carp? I also caught a lot of what I think are small BG, can anyone confirm based on the picture? I didn't catch any LMB, CC, or larger sizes of any fish. Are they not as vulnerable to cast nets, or maybe too far out/deep because of the heat?
