I should have snapped a picture and regret that I did not think to do so. If I come across another skinny ill be sure to photograph. From throwing the net I have to say the number of FHM I am finding is outstanding so I would think that there is plenty of food available. The water quality / visibility might be a factor however. The pond has always been a bit muddy in the Spring and even in the Summer it's hard to see anything more than a foot.
