No insult taken Theo, while Lusk was at Bruce's for the BG seining we had a conversation afterwards about the goals for "our" pond with Lusk. Long story short, I like the clear water and the weeds in the water, my dad doesn't care for unsightly weeds growing all the way to the surface everywhere. My dad and I are working on having "complementary" goals for the pond rather than "competing" ones. His goals are more aesthectic in nature while mine are more geared towards a healthy LMB and BG population. My comment was kind of an inside joke for Bruce. ;\) \:D

Anywho, I understand that any steps I take to improve the fishery in the pond should not conflict with his aesthetic goals. ;\)
