Hey guys, awesome info here. I just wanted to add that this will be a "harvested" pond. I would love for the kids to be able to hook into a few nice large fish. But at the same time I would like to be able to throw a few in the fryer on some weekends. I don't have any problem restocking when necessary and plan to put some structures or cribs at the bottom for cover. The one big thing that I didn't mention was that we had a combination of HBG, LGM, and CC inthe pond before but had the problem of a lot of small gills over populating the pond.
I've never even considered putting in Hybrid stripper, but I really would like to get CC in there pretty much to raise and harvest.
