ML, I have the highest regard for Bob Waldrop as I have for you. I believe it was me that recommended him to you,
It was your negative comments on the forum and personal messages about "fish sellers" taking advantage of pond owners and for me to call Waldrop to verify your negative comments, that causd me to respond.
I know that you were disappointed with your TF shad experiment but surprised at your negative remarks about HSB.
I was under the impression that you considered HSB a great sport fish, but strictly a put and take fish - and great table fare.
So what if they fight 'til they die if they are for the table?
My experience has been quite different with positve results.
When I push the envelope and make mistakes, which I frequently do, I take personal responsibility for them.
