That fish looks pretty good to me, I will be curious to see how they look in a few years as well so I hope you keep us posted. The one thing you mentioned is that it can be drained easy and this may be your plan. But you may get at lest 1-3 years of good fishing to at least put food on the table. One thing you may consider before you do drain and start over would be to add a few Flathead or Blues maybe both just to see how much damage they could to the population in a years time or so. I am sure most would say this is crazy but my thought is if you are going to drain it anyway it may be neat to see if what they say about the Flathead is true and if they can manage to eat most of the fish, before you drain, plus who knows you may even see an increase in size of some of the older fish.
Just a thought, and something I have considered in one of our ponds, just have had issues sourcing the fish to do this.
Thanks
