Thanks for all the suggestions. Yes there are only about 3-5 large catfish in the entrie pond. We have never been able to get them to reproduce and have kind of given up on them. My neighbor has stocked CC fingerlings the past couple of years but i'm sure the overcrowded LMB gobbled them up in the first few hours (I only see about 5-6 small CC at feeding time). I need to point my neighbor in the direction of this forum. His heart is in the right place but he makes a lot of poor stocking decisions. Luckily none of them can realy hurt the pond since most of the time his mistake is stocking fish that are too small. the poor guy actualy asked me if he should stock more LMB this fall. I explained the food chain and that there are too many LMB in the pond but I'm not sure he gets it yet (I don't fully understand yet, but I'm learning :)). Anyway I talked him out of stocking more LMB.

Greg,
I'm not sure my wife is ready to hang the baby from a hook yet. Those pictures are hilarious by the way. \:D

Again thanks for all the suggestions. Now all I need is a few friends that would be willing to help me catch and eat 200 LMB. Any takers?
