BGK, that's probably close to being true. I know of one pondmeister that rarely fishes his ponds, but he's selling his fish for live display.
I know of another pondmeister who's goal is to raise large bluegills. His pond is only 2 years old and he stocked his pond mostly with some fingerlings, but spent the time and effort to stock some 6" and 8"+ fish to get the different year classes established. A co-worker of his wife asked her if he could fish the pond and she said yes. The co-worker said he'd fish with a flyrod, barbless hooks, C&R. No problem, right? Well, when the pondmeister got home, (the wifes co-worker and friends were already gone) he found out that there were 3 fishermen, and they were fishing with bobbers and worms. They left witn an unknown amount of large BG.
Now, if that was your pond, what rules would you put in place after something like that happened??
