There are lots of leaves on the bottom around the tree'd edges of the pond, I realize that the decomposition of the leaves/tree limbs are probably adding to the water color.
I had a PH test strip kit that I used for my aquarium and I got the PH level at 6. It's not on the dot but it gives me an idea of where its at. I just need some parameters on the hardness and alkalinity now.

Here are some more bass that I caught during the summer August/September

Big head, small body--he went about 6ish pounds but he should have been well past that.


about a 15" fish


another long one, skinny with a huge head
