Cecil, wouldn't it be easier on the fish if you removed them with a fish trap in your 1/10 acre pond?
I may be wrong but from my experience as a biologist aid the fish traps were really hard on fish. They seemed to beat around in there with the other fish. That I do not want as one of my niche markets wants flawless fish. Even one scale missing or a split in a fin and the price goes down a lot.
And I'm not sure this pond is set up well for a fish trap. It's narrow and very steep sided. 1:1 slope.
I prefer angling as I quickly bring the fish in, put it in a bucket with a .5 % salt solution and walk over to a large cooler that is also q .5 percent slat solution in a trailer that is hooked up to the my groundskeeper's mower (my dad when he is living on my property and not in Florida for the winter LOL). Then when I get several in the cooler I drive the trailer and mower down to the pond and dump 'em in. There's no rush or worry this way.
