Big Pond, my brother-in-law caught a maybe four pounder the other day. If you remember my channels spawned and over populated so everything grew slow. I'm hoping they are now big enough to out compete the channels.
I have never seen a dead blue but I don't think I have as many as I started with. I had some water turkeys hang out a lot the first winter and I had one or two low oxygen periods. A few dead fatheads were all I've ever found.
