Bran that looks like a great little pond. Growing nice bluegill should probably be your focus, unless youve a buddy with an excavator who can help you make it bigger on the cheap
Thanks! I was actually surprised to see any LMB's in there at all, as I thought the previous owner was just pulling my leg about that. The neighbor even told me he caught a 4-5 pounder out of it one time when he came over and fished it. I am either going to expand this one to about a 2 acre size, or keep it as in and put a 2 acre pond at the other side of the property (depends on what the watershed study and soil composition says will be best). If I go with the latter, I do want to expand the size of this one, maybe double it to about 1/4 acre. I will be buying a tractor with a backhoe attachment, so I may play around with that later on, if I get bored. After that, I may turn it into the catfish pond, while the larger one becomes the bluegill/LMB pond.
