For you guys that built your own pond what is the coolest/ most gratifying moment you have experienced from owning it?

With out a doubt, being able to help in getting my dad to catch a fish(RBT) when he thought that he would never be able to go fishing again!!! That moment was absolutely worth it all.

Pulling out my first, honest-to-goodness one pound BG. I've caught bigger ones since, but that one remains special.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Having friends and their kids over to fish. Especially kids who have never caught a fish before.
The comments could be one of two.
1) I've never caught a (Bluegill, Yellow Perch, etc.) that big!
2) This is the first (Yellow Perch, Rainbow Trout, etc.) that I've caught.
sprkplug, you caught a first from my pond I believe?

I remember catching a personal best yellow perch....I was very proud of the accomplishment too, until SOMEONE kicked the chair out from underneath me by going on about how small it was... It's cool though. I'm sure I'll be able to sleep through the night again, real soon. Lot's of GOOD fish in esshup's pond. Looking forward to what the future has in store for it.

15 years of having a natural pond I am constantly surprised at the changes of plants and wildlife that takes place, and just when I thought I had it figured out, it changes. It is better then being a kid at Christmas getting exciting presents, and gives me a tiny incite to what Darwin must have felt as he observed nature’s wonders. So for me, I get out of the way and let the pond be my teacher.

Watching the 1 acre "aquarium" at feeding time or around shore structure as LMB feed on BG and, relatively new, the sound a 12-14" HSB makes when it takes half a chunk of Aquamax Bass food off the surface
