Is Theo serious about eating golden shiners? I may be missing out on something in our pond because I swear I�ve pulled G. shiners out of my pond that has to be around a pound. I�ve always considered them trash fish except for feeding the bass. While I�m on the subject we also have smallmouth buffalo and chain pickerel which seem to serve no useful purpose. By the way the pond is 80 acres with low retention, low alkalinity and low fertilization.
