Thanks for the quick reply!

I've been reading the forum for a couple of weeks and feel that I have learned a lot. It's great to know that there are others out there with the same concerns as mine.

I am a farmer and actually control 4 other ponds all around 1 acre. 2 that I have complete control of need some serious work, one just flat out needs to be drained and started over and the other if mendable as is. It is choked full of green sunny's. I caught 18 long, skinny channel cats out of it and haven't caught or been bit from any since. I turned 6 bass loose in it a couple of years ago, but it was too late for them to spawn that year. Do you think it would be ok if I put about 40-50 6-10 inchers in there? I have access to them in another pond that has more bass than quaker has oats. Plus a friend has a 3 acre pond basically the same way since it has hybrid bluegill and nothing else for forage.
