I have contacted a guy I met in the DNR to see what I can find out. Unfortunately his area is in the county my pond is located at and they seem to only be concerned with the nearest lake which is Rathbun lake. Glad to hear you had good results dealing with rainman. Where about are you located? Would definitely be interested in getting together on a shipment! PM me if you're serious. I've also been interested in a couple paddlefish, I can remember catching them out of the river when I was younger.
