UPDATE:
This past weekend, I did spent about every waking hours working with the pond. Removed 30 LMB. Caught around 40 but released some of the very healthiest looking ones. Caught one at about 15" Couple in the 12" range. Also released 20 4-6" BG and another 6 6-8" BG. Netted about 100-150 BG fry from a nearby pond, along with about 2 dozen bluntnose minnows, another 3 dozen blacknose dace, and a small number of stickleback and johnny darters. I would assume that most or all of the minnows are already gone, but just to update.
