hatrix,
Awesome pond and nice pictures!! The one difference is you kept a bunch of 2 and 3 pounders last year right? Well there you go you just made it possible for those other 3 pounders still in your pondn to grow, grow, grow. At least thats the first reason I could think of! Very nice fish. Your doing something right that's for sure! I am sure some other guys will be around to help you out on your weed issue. Do you have any grass carp in your pond? I am not sure if they are legal in Ohio or not? Good Luck Bud!
