I bought a farm in NE Missouri and have been busy putting in foodplots for deer and doing some bowhunting.
Reading these posts is like visiting old friends!
My F1 largemouth are about 5 years old, 22" and 6 lbs, fast and healthy. They are eating a steady diet of hand fed Aquamax Largemouth. The water explodes at feeding time. I am trying to locate a leak that I have had since the pond was built. It is a constant leak that flows out the back of the dam, about like a kitchen faucet running. I am siphoning down the water with 3" PVC and my 2 acre lake has dropped about 5' in the last 10 days. The leak is still flowing, so I am going to keep the siphon running until it stops. The pond was originally 19' deep, so I hope that I do not have to drain much more water, because I do not want to lose my trophy bass. I have an aerator, and the water temp is cooling down, but I suppose that I should cull out a bunch of fish or they will die from lack of oxygen??? Anyone want some big food trained F1 bass? I hate to eat these trophies!
