Thanks to everyone for the comments so far. Bill and esshup, the negatives seem pretty frightening. My thoughts were that in a mature pond, with other forage (BG, RES, TFS), competition and big predators would help prevent GSD from reaching mammoth proportions. Has anyone on the forum actually had GSD, and experienced the negative consequences? What about the opposite. Are there any pond owners who have stocked GSD in a 10+ acre pond that can claim success?

Wade B, I noticed the website in your sig. Are you in the business? Have you had customers that have successfully added GSD?
