Pick ME!
I need to win this.

A LITTLE AQUASHADE AND A LONG ALGAE BLOOM WORKS BETTER AT GETTING RID OF CHARA THAN CUTRINE PLUS GRANULES.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

Nate- If you guys are looking for an over weight, corn feed, farmer tanned, norwegian pale skinned, Minnesota boy for the calander, I'm your guy. I think its only fitting, me being from the tundra, that I represent December.

Yes - why not produce a Pond Boss Calander? People could buy it as gifts for Christmas. Use the above picture for a month during hunting season. Is the hat still available for one moderator to wear each year as one of the month's pictures?

True, but ironically, flatheads have wideheads.

Hey, I "observed" my submission first-hand. Some folks think "more" bass are "better" (conventional, yet flawed logic). I simply rephrased the reality of their logic.

You had plenty of room within the rules to insert "intelligent" and "personable" in your sentence...

As observed through my microscope.

A 1/4 ACRE POND CAN GET OVERGRAZED BY MINNOWS, THEY SELECTIVELY EAT THE ZOOPLANKTON AND LEAVE THEIR VEGGIES (PHYTOPLANKTON).
