I decided to stop clearing around the pond today, when I ran into two nests of ground wasps. Soo. I did what any self respecting outdoorsman would do, I bought some chicken liver and went fishing. Caught 12 blue cats, threw the smallest two back. Could have caught more, but its a friends pond and they stock it, so I didnt want to overcatch my welcome.

Ill have a pic or two up in a little while of the catch.

10 fish, 47 lbs, nice day.
