I completely agree with Bill's comment and ewest added emphasis.

I think that this would be a good time to eventually have an archivable post that adresses what things we can do to our ponds to make for either "great fish" or "great fishing". Providing for optimal early growth of your fish is a virtual necessity for growing trophy game fish. Interestingly enough, some of the things we can do to allow for "great fishing" are at odds with what we can do to assure "great fish". I'd like to have somebody start a post that gives some of the very basic points in respect to this.
