I'm a newbie and I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice. My pond is currently thriving with large numbers of ten-pound plus largemouth and you can catch a 10 inch bluegill on every cast.

I seem to have discovered a potential problem, however. I've been researching global warming and I've noticed a definitive inverse relationship between the global average temperature and the number of pirates found worldwide. Please review the following chart I've created.



Anyway, I just thought that trends such as these reveal a need for me to be proactive in my pond management goals. If indeed global warming is having such profound effects on planet Earth should I consider liming my pond? Or possibly stocking hybrid bluegill? Any comments would be appreciated.
