to think 3 years ago I learned that a pond is NOT just a hole with water in it!

Cleaned it up and stocked it, babied it along, then today before work, started my day with these two off the dock:





Then after work, after mowing and such, saw some top water action going on, had about 30 minutes and grabbed the fly rod.





I've never been involved in something so therapeutic.

It's just crazy grin

Thanks PBF!

Congrats Keith! Here's another crazy story for ya...


One morning this week my wife told me she wanted 5 BG to barbecue for a dish she was making (My wife is from Thailand and some kind of fish is in dang near everything she cooks!). I said ok and headed for the puddle. In 30 minutes I caught her 5 nice BG (caught a 2 lb+ CC in the process but, since not on her grocery list, tossed it back). I thought to myself, wait a minute, this is so cool! The big plan when we built the pond was to be able to catch fish whenever we want for the table. It worked! The Plan worked!....Now that's just CRAZY!

Edit: I left out the craziest part. I went to clean the fish and she just snagged the bucket out of my hand and said she would take it from here..... I get to catch but don't have to clean....Now that's just crazy!!!

Bill,

A friend has a wife from Thailand too and she is a cook extrordinaire. He has a tummy to prove it. LOL


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
