By the way, this week's Facebook Live broadcast will be about the importance of diverse habitat in ponds. Plus, I'll have a guest...my wife, Debbie. She sees ponds through different eyes, what she sees in the water blends with her thoughts above the water line. You'll see what I mean when you watch that broadcast. This will be a good time for more ladies to join the broadcast. Debbie absolutely has a different perspective than mine. It will be entertaining! Tune in to the Pond Boss Facebook page Wednesday nights from 6:30-7:30 central time. If you can't make it then, the broadcast will be saved for viewing, and LeighAnn will upload to YouTube and provide a link from our Pond Boss website.
If you have any early questions, ask them here or on the promo post on our FaceBook page. Hope to see you Wednesday night.

Tune in Wednesday evening, 6:30-7:30! Guest will be Bruce Condello. From Lincoln, Nebraska. We’ll be talking about huge bluegills and some of the techniques and thought processes he uses to grow and enjoy HUGE fish. Check out his FB page, Big Bluegill!
Maybe if time, Bruce can talk some about his one time 2500lb capacity HSB pond.... That would have been something to witness and fish while it lasted....
Curious on trying to get RES to feed as well, trying Optimal right now...Not sure how successful in a mixed pond environment with HSB,SMB,HBG,YP, and RES...
I Subscribe!

With all the Facebook issues of late, any thought of changing to Youtube live? I've deleted Facebook from my phone but will borrow the wife's phone for tomorrow.

No, haven't thought about that. Will stick with Facebook for now. We'll post it to YouTube within a few days afterward.
This week's topic..."The Majesty of Water". I'll be talking about how water works and why it's the perfect medium and what we need to do to take care of it.

Brian, Your wife's phone? That's funny! I don't worry about such things as facebook is going through. Heck, there is so many ways for crooks to get information. Look at Social Security card. It says not to use for Id on the back of the card, but today my SSC number is most likely everywhere because of hacking, so selling your information, I'm betting that information is most likely everywhere also. Have you bought any groceries lately? Discounts when they use your phone number or store card. Now where does one think that info goes?
Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.

I on the other hand, only have facebook for a Bob's live feed and a couple of outdoors page. I just got a new phone and plan to keep this one facebook and messenger free. Living rural, the only internet I have is thru my cell, but might hotspot and login on the laptop....if I can find my laptop......

You might find it interesting how much info they have premission to keep on you.

Brian, last year my wife got me an iPad. I have had no connectivity at the property other than phone. However, the iPad works pretty well and gets about as much as my pc in town.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Can't make the show again, but would like to ask what size northern bass is too big to transfer to another pond? Have 250 gal. tank with bubblier in it. There would be 1/2 hour drive time and 1 to 2 hours to catch the fish. Should I ice down the holding tank or use the water out of the small pond? How many fish should I put in tank if they are 6 to 12 inches? What if they are 14 to 16 inches? Would be going from a small pond to a very large one. Both are private ponds.

No expert, but I was part of a successful transfer of a 6 lb NLMB in Ohio.
I recommend you put a small amount of PURE salt (no arsenic additives!) in the tank, along with a dose of fish tranquilizer that is sometimes used in livewells. Keep it cool but not cold.
When you arrive at destination, gradually add pond water to your tank to help fish acclimate before releasing.
Good luck!
