Well I got through hand sorting the FHM in a similar manner as you described above TJ. I put them in a bucket, scooped them into the net and pulled out 6-10 at a time by hand. I thought as you said above that I just needed to give each one a quick look and confirm the obvious. Found only FHM in the 5 pounds that I had picked up. I also hand sorted through the golden shiners and they were all good as well. I think the 5# is about all I'd want to do with out aeration.

I may pick up another round of the same amount of FHM 5# and GSH 2# as the amount I put in just didn't seem like much compared to the size of the pond.

CJ, they were nice sized LCS, but I only got 7-8 of that size... Hopefully enough to pull off at least some type of a spawn. The other 22 fish were quite small at about 1" or so. I also released 10 western banded killifish. The 10 was all that Brian could spare for now. I am going to try to get another 20 or so of those from him later in the summer.
