I am very new to the pond managing. I put 100 GG ranging from 3" to 6" long in a 120 quart cooler. I put a few ice cubes in the water because the water was so hot in the 2-3 inches of water I was dipping from. When I got them home, I poured them in the pond.
We caught the fish with rod and reels and kept them in an open trap set in the edge of the pond we were fishing them out of. Normal handling of the fish to take them off the hook, etc. Most the time my hands where wet, is the not good to handle them dry handed.
Would the water temp differences hurt them?
I feel my pond is somewhat cooler than his pond was.
