My grandkids lay on the dock with little hand nets and catch them. They are about the size of a drivers license. Then they throw them in the woods “to feed the raccoons”. We catch 100s with worms under bobbers. Most of those end up in the woods too. They are way too small to even attempt to clean. We used to catch YP. I may end up with a LMB, HBG pond, may as well add CC and make it like most Missouri ponds. It was fun while it lasted. I should have never added the dang HBG.
I know what I’d do.... I’d stock HSB. Get them to an age where they’ll feed train on pellets. And then train them to eat larger pellets when thrown in. Once they’re trained to do that I’d catch HBG, cut them in half and throw them to your HSB. I’m crazy that way.
