Hi Steve, draining the pond was and is always off the table ....water is more valuable than fish now that we have survived the devastating 2011 drought!
We are seriously looking at shocking the pond in the spring to remove more Florida LMB and observe growth of select CB. They are a lower priority for me than our HSB, my favorite sport fish for fly fishing.
The CB are for my hard core bass fisherman son Jeff....

IIRC, I recall your stocking a new lake with CB along with Floridas – are you able to distinguish growth differences between the species?

Thanks for your thoughts,
George
