ewest, that is great info! Wish I would have seen it at the beginning of the week. I'm going to look into making a growout cage for future stockings.
RC, I didn't realize 100-150lbs was about the ceiling for predators in a 1 acre pond, but it makes sense. And, I love a good fish fry, so I'm exciting to try some of these HSB out!
Everything seems to have settled down in my pond, so hopefully some of these guys found a place to hide for the time being ... otherwise, I've got some happy LMB!
