Thanks for the vote of confidence. I am starting to feel like im making small steps to owning a really killer pond. As for grass carp there around but I am not positive how many. I usually see them about 3 or 4 at a time. They spook easily though so its hard to walk up on them when there hanging out. Somehow they know im coming from like 50 feet away :P Tomorrow they say will be sunny so im going to try and get some pics of sunfish and what not in the shallows. I will catch a few bass to so you can see the size. I might even catch another lunker! I will keep my fingers crossed on that one. Do you think its possible the couple hundred fish i removed made that big a difference in size. I only bought the house in july and didnt remove any fish till around august/september.
