My pond is just 3 weeks old, I have already added fathead minnows and about 150 coppernose bluegill and 50 shellcracker. I plan to add more BG and fingerling LMB later this fall when it is completely full and water cools down some, along with more FHM and Golden Shiners. I made a video a couple days ago. I would love any feedback if anyone would be so kind. Thanks!

Looks like your plan is coming together very nice. Kids were enjoying themselves for sure. Your girls laugh cracked me up.

Your "redear" sunfish with the digestive track lure pass was a hybrid bluegill (HBG).

Interesting your setup running roof water from house... do you have pics of your setup coming off the roof going to the ground?

Yes, you are correct. I didn't realize at first because I didn't order any hybrids but they put some in. I enjoy catching them though.

I don't unfortunately. I was at work when most of the construction on the pond was being done so I didn't get footage as the drainage lines were being put it.
