Gamb -- I'm very glad you brought up this topic. I've been putting together a file of state record fish that come from ponds so Bob and I could use that info for a magazine article.
One of my biggest surprises is the number of state record warmouth that come from private waters. Why is this?
How many of you pondmeisters have warmouth in your ponds?
If so, did you put them there on purpose?
Or, are they an accidental member of the pond?
Thanks!!
