Good Morning to all , as I sit here and read the new post from the night or day before as I pretty much do every morning , this is just my 2 cents worth for what it is worth .. I am a monthly subscriber to POND BOSS magazine and I also DONATE every month a small amount in hopes that it " helps " the cause that each and every one of us ENJOYS here on this forum , Obviously we are passionate about ponds ,fish and the fun and beauty that a pond or lake brings to our properties , I never question where my money went or goes , 2.5 years ago all i knew was that i would love for my life long goal of owning a body of water that my family ( KIDS , GRAND KIDS and family friends ) would enjoy long after i was gone , Through the help of this Forum , soaking up every ounce of information , watching pond boss videos ( I think i have seen every one on YouTube and now via Facebook ) I was able to not only have a pond built , stock and manage the water , install myself a bottom diffused system , install a TEXAS HUNTER feeder and stock with a high Protein feed ( Aqua max MVP ) and now this year being able to harvest HBG that will tick the scales at 1 pound and catch LMB that tick the scales at 3 pound plus ( feed trained ) I think i got my moneys worth , there is NO doubt in my mind Pond Boss would pick up the phone if i ever needed , whats that worth ?? I am in no way calling out anyone or wanting to upset anyone but its my 2 cents worth and IMO we enjoy many " perks " and its my hope that anyone not donating monthly would do so knowing that even though this forum may not be " up to speed " by today's standards for this old guy its fast enough and I am happy to have this resource , as for " free" . yep its free to us but someone somewhere pays , either cash , time away , blood ,sweat and tears some one always pays , I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and you get the rain you need
