I have a 1.25 acre farm pond. I stocked it in October 2022 with LMBs, standard Bluegill, 50 Channel Catfish and Fathead minnows. I started sample fishing the pond this spring to see how the fish were progressing. I am feeding the fish with Purina Aquamax Sportfish MVP as well. To my surprise, I began catching white crappie and no Bass at all. I assume the crappie ate all the fathead minnows and all my Bass fingerlings. I purchased 20 twelve inch LMBs, at great expense, and released them into the pond two weeks ago. I invited my neighbor over to catch some of the Crappie for his pond. I even gave him a Beetle Spin lure. Unbeknownst to me, he took a bunch of live nightcrawlers to the pond and gut hooked two of my 4-5 pound cats. One cat broke his line so now I have a cat swimming around with a hook in it and towing a bobber. He got the hook out of the other one and released it. Will these fish survive? I will be at the farm later this week and will attempt to retrieve the cat with the bobber. I am not happy with my neighbor and told him to not come back. I have spent a lot of money rehabbing this pond. Am I over reacting? Thanks in advance for any advice.
