+1 I like this idea. I always thought it would be cool to have a pond with pike. It would be interesting to see how fast a few could clean up that 1 acre. I don't know how fast they grow so I can't recommend a stocking rate but I would stock heavy and make it a put and take activity. Once they pretty much eliminate everything in the pond, I would invite them up to the house for a fish fry! grin
