Stocking rates for the 3/4 acre pond were 200 BG, 200 HBG and 100 RES. Also 40 CC. All done back in May.

As far as catching channels through the ice, its very common here in Ohio. I fish the Ohio and Great Miami Rivers all winter long and we catch a ton of channels and a few Blue cats even when the water is down to like 35-37 degrees. Both the BC and CC are very aggressive cold water biters!

I also agree he was one of the prettiest channels I ever caught, and he was quickly released right after the photo session just like all the other fish.
