Hello everyone. After lurking on the site over a year I have finally registered. Following everything from killer RES, Eddie, Jersey/Posiden & Brettski's grand projects, Cecil growing monster trout in his backyard, droughts, rain dances, copperheaded rattlemoccisons, etc...this site has been a great source of info and entertainment. Especially learning how to make a fish look big in a photo (thanks Bruce). I have also read enough to catch most of the inside jokes that pop up so frequently and maybe even a few that most people miss (for example why Theo named his one eyed catfish Leela {Futurama Fan}). Anyhow here is my question. Will a pond with adequate structure have a better carrying capacity than a identical pond with none or is its only purpose to concentrate fish? Bruce's post in the common question section briefly refers to energy lost in competition for available structure but if they got nothing to fight over does it matter?

Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?
