After returning from WW2 my grandfather built a 30 acre pond on some of our family property. We are in South Georgia about 45 minutes from savannah.

We are having issues with slander spike rush. We have been doing some management with chemicals. And intend on putting in 200 grass carp. There are thriving large mouth bass and blue gill populations.

Wwe live a few hours away. Only get to come about once a month for a few days. While we catch 1pound to 3 pound bass hand over fist and we catch at least one 4 to 6 pound every visit. Last summer I caught 2 7-8 pounds and 1 ten pound. This summer a friend caught 1 that was 10.5 pounds. I have to admit I'm worried a 10 inch carp is gunna get eaten and with it, my money.

Thoughts?
