Thanks for the ideas. After reading about the pump idea, I Called my buddy who is going to come seine it and he said he has an irrigation pump. Gonna set that up a couple days before and knock the pond level down a few feet.

Have to re do my jugs I had set up to catch cats. Had 4 jugs with 50lb test, circle hooks and chicken livers. Every line was broke so pulling out my stainless steel shark leaders and attaching them. No more broke lines

I really don't want to poison it either. After its seined I'm going to keep putting cat jugs out to catch any stragglers and continually fish out the bass
