......I'm certainly still excited by pulling in a large bluegill, but there's always that voice, claiming that I need to tweak, adjust and overcome....there's room for improvement.
Tony, I think we're all guilty of that to some extent, and IMO it's a good thing!
For me, and I'm sure many others, it's always the thought of "how can I make it better". Whether it be the water chemistry, size and condition of the fish, etc.
My BG are dwarfs compared to yours and others here on the forum, but knowing I stocked them myself, I feed them and do what I can to offer them a healthy BOW to thrive in, I'm excited all the same to see their growth and progress. But on the other hand, for every fish I catch I wonder why they're not fatter, or longer, or healthier, and what can I do to make things better

I don't think we'll ever be content, but I don't think we want to be. Personally I'm enjoying the challenge and I'm learning so much along the way, along with others in the same boat, and those who have "been there, done that" and willing to share their experiences to help us achieve our goals!
What IS reassuring though, is when guests come out to the pond and comment on how nice it looks and how big and healthy the fish are. And although under my breath I'm thinking "man, there's so much more I can, and want to do", it gives me that moment of realizing I have something I should be proud of!
Then when the guests leave, it's back to work

Congrats to you on a job well done, Tony and keep shooting for the stars!
