Thread: best from today

Warmouth, I added waves upon waves of predators, multiple species in one pond; I also stocked a few bluegill with better genetics in both ponds, to counteract many years of in-breeding (these ponds were originally created when TVA mined the area for phosphate in the 1930's and '40's, and TVA stocked them, so they have had fish for close to a hundred years). One of these ponds might be an acre and a half, and the other can't be more than an acre, and they each have two tiger muskie in them. And, one of these two ponds also had over 200 largemouth stocked in four different stockings over the first two years I managed it; and the other pond, in addition to 60 largemouth stocked in two different stockings, and the two tiger muskie, also was stocked with ten hybrid stripers, and five blue catfish that were between five and ten pounds each when they were stocked three years ago and are likely big enough now to be causing the disappearance of sundry coyotes, raccoons, housepets, etc.

I also feed the fish what is widely considered the very best fish food in the industry, and which many of the top hatcheries in the country feed their fish. It's 45% protein and has fishmeal as its primary ingredient. I get it from Utah.

Thanks for the kind words, all!
