snrub, coming late to this but when I look at your pictures of the RES taken out of the forage pond and the RES you captured in your main pond they look the same to me. How can you tell that the ones you netted out of your main pond where not the forage ones that you put into the main pond? Just because they were in a different location then where you bucket stocked them?
It really doesn't matter so much right? You can keep adding from your forage pond whether you are getting recruitment or not in the main pond?
