Thanks for the pickerel info. Someone a long time ago must have dropped them off into there and I think they survive off frogs, their own fry and whatever else falls in. I’m almost positive there’s nothing else and the fact that there doesn’t seem to be much growth in the existing pickerel makes me think there isn’t much to eat in there. Nothing over 10”-11”. Cool fish I agree.

My big problem is how to catch the fish out of my pond to put in my friends pond or I will have an overpopulation problem. Fish trap? Netting? Shock treatment?

Catching them one at a time hook and line doesn’t sound effective. Any ideas?
