Jeff 10-4 you can shut down a feeder if knowing you would not be there for awhile. Most cleints do that anyway because of winter time temps. Jeff we just setup the pond kit this winter so no worries, thanks though. We had to negioate rates on the products. It is not a big money maker for us but should save clients quite a bit of money and hassle in looking up what they need. It will include that scale, digitial very accurate "kitchen type" scale, secchi disc, thermometer, clipboard, data sheets, Deluxe version will also have tag gun, 100 colored tags 100 numbered tags, alkalinity test kit. We have presold a few before it is even on the website.
Wr is scientfic way to abbreviate relative weight, I guess the weight part is more important than the relative part. I look forward to seeing your Wr postings this spring.

It sounds similar to what Norm Kopecky did, except I believe his method was put & take with almost exclusively predator species. I'd love to have a pond dedicated to growing trophy fish of choice, plus another pond with a hodgepodge of all different species and sizes of fish. If I could only have one, I'd rather have better catch rates with multiple species and try for an occassional trophy fish as a bonus. I'm going to have to look through my Pond Boss magazine collection and find the article. I didn't realize that he used exclusively predator species - OOPS! Man Jeff, don't quote me on that! (pun intended) That's why I prefaced my statement with "almost." Now that I think about it, I'm guessing he had forage species in there. But I do recall him saying that his pond was purposefully predator-heavy with multiple species. He treated it as a put & take--interesting idea.

By the way, the best part about culling LMB is the final step. Here is what the LMB in the first post ended up looking like: Add salad and taters, and you got yourself a meal!

Let me tell ya...it was smack-yo-mama good!
Ahvatsa, davatsa, and our wives devoured nearly all of it. This means that ahvatsa and davatsa ate for 1.5 people and our wives at their usual (about half portion).
On a related note, my wife informed me that I need to lose a little weight before going on our trip in August. It appears that an excursion on the trip involves a helicopter ride with a 250 pound limit per person.
I told my wife that since she weighs LESS than HALF of what I weigh, it would even out. She's not buying it.

It's easier to lose it now than later.

I don't get the saying either Brett295, it seems to me that if your mom makes a delicious meal and then you slap her for her trouble, then there would be less incentive for her to repeat the meal preparation, ergo no repeat performance of the meal. Well unless of course you punch her in the gut for a terrible meal, then I guess it would somehow balance out. Texans are a funny lot.

I will not let TX take credit for that saying. It is a southern saying. No idea what it means it is just fun to say when you get some good food. In fact there are alot of things I do not understand that I do.

Don't feel bad Greg. You do a lot of things that I don't understand either.
