In my case, I have a LMB/BG pond that produced a 6.4 lb fish last Fall, and a 4.4 lb fish last week (same friend caught and kept both fish for eating). My neighbor also harvests 50-60 BG and about 10, <12" LMB each year for eating. I also have a YP/SMB pond with spawning populations. The SMB are also growing well but I have not had a "football" perch harvested yet. My 3rd pond will hopefully be a black-crappie/blue-catfish pond. I just started digging my 4th pond and am needing to dewater the ground without having the trench cave in. I have a plan, but its slow going with a backhoe and finish dozer. Once the drain pipe is in, its just dozer time. Not yet sure what I am gonna stock in this one...
