Whoa!!! Drain the pond????? A. How could I possibly do that. B. I've seen large bass still in the pond. Perhaps I was too low on my surface estimate. The dam is 1/10th of a mile wide, and we have pictures of its construction in 1982, probably 20 or 30ft deep when its full. The dozers and earth-movers looked pretty small at its base.

I can concieve of no way to drain this body of water, short of dynamite, thereby destroying the whole thing. I finally decided it was green perch in the tank, I verified some pictures online. I think I'll have a couple of green perch tournements at the tank and try my luck at thinning them out that way. Man, you guys are scaring me!
