Well done removing the hook, Tracy! I once hooked my brother in the back when I pulled a lure out of a tree branch, it was not fun for him at all. He got back (no pun intended) at me by messing up the net so I lost a big smallmouth, the only large fish hooked on the trip, though he denies it was intentional.
As for weed treatment, you are getting good advice. Better to be safe than sorry, especially since you are fighting low DO anyway. Interesting that BPW is fading on its own this time of year, just as it does at my place. Bob Lusk said that it gets covered with periphyton, which I guess makes sense but I do wonder why this doesn't seem to slow other pond plants.
