Me too. A "fun" pond with large BG and HSB and other pond(s) with LMB...but even in those other ponds, I want a LMB that can reasonably be caught. That's the whole point of the recent discussions on LMB aggressiveness and on experiments to make them more aggressive and on research to improve genetics for aggressiveness...if I can not find that, then the LMB are history for my ponds. The only purpose they would serve is to help raise large BG. Otherwise, they are history, as far as I'm concerned.
