Can I ask a question, I have read alot of forums on pondboss, but my pond, almost an acre is thriving in fish population, I stocked 300 bluegil,300 bluechannel cats,150 redears, and 5 lbs of fathead minnows and 100 largemouth bass, my pond was built and finish in december 2003, which makes it less than a year old, my water comes from a well, my well supplies all the water to the pond, I feed my fish purina game chow, by hand feed, I use a yellow bucket, which I take to the pond, when the fish sees me, it is like a tidal wave coming to me, some jumping out of the water, and they are getting larger, I can fish without a rod and reel, all I need is a bucket. Like I said, this is true, and want to know if I am doing this right.
