cecil, i'm amazed you dont have lots of folks eager to come help you move fish. that would be a blast (or do you not invite anyone to yer private fishin fests?)
Oh I do and I have had people help me harvest them. I'm picky anymore as I've had some bad experiences. Mainly with people that mean well but don't listen. As in I don't allow any treble hooks as they damage the fish. After telling this to a guy the first thing he puts on is a spinner with a monster treble hook. Same guy had five trout break him off in a row. He killed at least three of them as I found them later on the bottom. That was a lot of money wasted. I never invited him back. Or I have people that bounce them all over the bank even after I tell them that's not acceptable. I do have a group of four guys that do everything I say and are outstanding anglers.
And in this case where it's imperative to move them from one pond to another STAT in excellent shape (not really all that fun to just horse them in) I do it myself.
