Dave:
Thanks for the reply...Maybe my idea isn't so great afterall...I'd still love the opportunity to ocassionally catch that real big cat in the pond... But perhaps this pond is to small to make that a realistic possibility. I guess I'll have to settle for the 5lb channel cats instead of the 25lb flatheads.
The crappies I catch will all head directly to the dinner table, with heavy fishing pressure provided by myself and family and freinds...Hopefully, that will keep them in check while allowing some to reach good size for the dinner table.
Maybe we won't thin the Channel cats as much as I originally planned. Any flatheads I catch out of the local river will then need to fill the void at the upcomming fish fry.
Oh well...Sometimes you gotta adapt!
