this pond is 1 acre in size,water is in great shape.i will connect this pond to a 4 year old 5 1/2 acre lake within the next month are so.i dug a new 1 acre pond and stocked with bream and minnows knowing we were going to tie the two together very soon.i was hoping the fish would be big enough to survive once they were tied together.i just had s.e. pond shock the larger lake this past week and saw 7 1/2 lb. bass in the large pond.i know some of the small bass will not make it but was hoping if they got too 4-5 inches maybe some would survive.thanks pat
