I'll bet your grandson had quite a fight with that SMB!
He did! He had the pond record for a day. His dad broke the record the next day. He’s a twin. His twin sister almost fishes as hard as he does. They were born during the initial excavation of our pond. Their mother (our daughter) was a little miffed at me for leaving their home and spending time at the pond site. Ha! She’s happy with it now.
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
