I want a LMB Trophy pond and i have crappie and catfish in it. Last saturday fished for 1 hour and caught 11 crappie. When i feed pellets you can count the catfish so i know i have a bunch of them and have started the culling for fish fry! But shouldnt i leave a few catfish in it? I can deal without the crappie if i need to get rid of them. I have a real good base of CNB and other perch for forage. And i got a blue heron that comes around everyday. I was gonna get me a decoy for him and try it. What about the tall white ones can you shoot them? I watch both of them peckers from my house with binoculars and they would catch a fish or to every 2 to 3 minutes. I was burning up!
