Thanks Jake, I'll take you up on that. It sounds like a lot more fun than dealing with my fish supplier. It takes more time to contact, make my order, take off work, meet the fish truck, transfer the fish to my truck, then stock in my pond Than it would to hook up with you and see your place and have fun doing it.

As far as the FH goes...stocking one or two would be a last ditch effort/hail Mary to straighten out a pond gone wrong with monster results. The intent would be for them to clean house and I am a long ways off from a decent population, let alone overpopulated.

What's the weight of yours in the Pic. My record is 29 pounds from a quarry pond from Illinois. Pretty sure yours has 29 pounds beat!
That was a 55, but caught on a bank pole with a 4 or 5" goldfish


All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.
