Well, last year I was doing a bit of "fish trading" between two private ponds. One guy wanted more bluegill in his pond and the other wanted more bass. Being that the guy wanting bass had too many stunted bluegill and the guy wanting more bluegill(bass ate all the smaller ones) wanted to thin the bass, it all worked out in trade of whatever I could catch for them and place in a livewell. Anyway, the pond that was bluegill heavy had many large golden shiners in it (5-7") that I was catching. Now I wish I would have transered a trade on those too. Based on your replies and whgat I've read thus far I think I'll buy some to stock in my buddies bass heavy pond.
