I unfortunately don't have any real answers to my RES issues. The BG seem to do fine, and I feel I have more than one state record residing in my pond -- which I would never publicly advertise if I catch it. The CC out-do themselves -- but that is a whole different issue. My LMB have extremely low relative weights, and we catch them like most people catch stunted bluegill or greensunfish in other ponds.
But, I am really intrigued by the rest of this thread, and what Nate and TJ have posted. I don't want to hijack it.
I would really like to see the discussion between Nate and TJ continued, along with ideas from others about this. I have a 20 year old pond, a one year old pond, and I plan to put in one more pond this spring.
Would it be worth renewing a pond (killing it, and starting over) every so often as a pond ages? It is something I'm certainly thinking about.
It seems like this would be perfect for an article in Pond Boss if collaborated by several.
