After the GBH drops the bass by mistake into the new pond, how does he know to return with another bass of the opposite sex and drop it in the same pond?
It is fascinating that this thread started 11 years ago and we have no better proofs than before and have just as muh fun debating it as before!
Maybe for the magazine Bob or someone else can dig a few puddles in the south and set up game cameras. The PB meisters from the south say that every puddle of water will self stock with gambusia, even puddles on a two track.
Just let the newly dug pond set, run the game cams on a motion trigger and record what wildlife traffic visits the pond.
Then when minnows appear, seine them and see what they are. By the time minnows are in there we should have an idea if the only visitors with birds, or raccoons, or GB or whatever.
in re-reading the thread I also learned that Mike Otto used to post here, on this very forum, how awesome is that! I was bummed to see that his last post was in 2013!
