I just turn mine upside down on the bank. I flip it over and jump back in case there is a snake. That's only happened once. However, one time there was a young, about 3/4 grown, skunk. I lit out running with it after me. I looked back at about 30 or 40 yards and it was turning around spraying in a circle.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
