Rainman, I cannot imagine GSF having the opportunity to contaminate a pond. Maybe in Missouri but certainly not in Texas. I'm fairly neutral on them as forage but see no problem.

Due to lower spawning, they seem to disappear over time. LMB ought to be able to control anything that will fit in their mouth.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
