Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Wildlife Management snake on the pond

Last month I walked the banks and counted 13 large Bull Frogs and 1 diamond back water snake and 1 black water snake (not a Moc). Last week I walked the banks and saw 5 diamondback water snakes and 1 Bull frog. I got to thinking about my goals for the pond, and remembered I wanted double digit LMB, and large Bull Frogs help me get there. I am pretty sure the snakes would have babies and they might feed the lmb. So, do I want a lot of small growing snakes or small growing Bull frogs? The Bull frogs won out and so I took my new 4/10 shotgun and got rid of the diamond backs. That was a week ago and yesterday I saw another new diamond back @ the pond. I will be snake hunting this week. Maybe the blk water snake will show back up.
