No offense Pond Frog, but you have to deal with Ca. regulations that are often totally absurd.
Threadfin Shad are a great alternative to Gizzard Shad and people that are super serious about raising trophy size bass love the LMB growth acheived when they are present in a pond. Unfortunately, extended periods of cold weather often wipe them out every few years in areas much further north than the 34th parallel.
