Bullheads, green sunfish, tilapia, and probably the infamous "green carp" (aka LMB) would do well in "How 'bout in a record heat wave drought ridden East Texas pond?". Actually truth be known, the HSB are likely less tolerant of Texas pond waters than SMB. HSB are stressed when water gets really warm in TX which is why they tend to not grow as large or live as long in far southern pond habitats compared to the HSB in more northern states than TX. Big waters in Texas usually have some deeper cooler waters which will provide HSB some cooler water refuge areas during the heat of summer.
Bill my friend - you got it right!
But it's not the fish in the fight - it's the fight in the fish!
