No Cecil does not. He has just figured out a way to pay for the fish he harvests -- primarily by hook and line -- by selling them.I only have to sell about 19 fish a year to pay for the electricity to pump the well (a average profit of $30.00 per fish.)
I have some brook trout now, that if I can get them over 5 lbs. I will be able to sell the ones that are perfect specimens for $100.00 a piece. After capture and overdosing the fish on an anesthetic in a cooler to prevent thrashing, fish are measured, catologed, shrink wrapped, and labeled; and are shipped all over the country.
Big well? Well is only a 4 inch (standard diameter for household wells around here) and the the price for the well and pump was around $2000.00. I know people that spend more on fishing boats than I did on the well and my biggest pond.
