I once had a Ouchita and my neighbor had a Skeeter Hawk. Lots of fond memories and lots of fish over the sides. I once chased the $ tournaments and did it until I got a divorce. When I remarried, I fished some at the lakes with her. Then I built a pond and, although I still have my Ranger, just have no interest in the lakes. 10 tackle boxes mostly gather dust. Never thought that I would be interested in raising fish that I don't want to injure.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
