You need some help? I got a 5 year old little girl that would put a hurting on them! haha
I know a 39 year old little boy who is willing to help as well!

Those look nice for pond raised, enjoy!
You're a good friend! rotfl
That looks like as much fun as a good dove field. Lots of fish to clean.
some of the worst advice is given out all the time on what can do well in what pond and when .
nice job on the thinning out program . a good friend will do that you know :highfive
When in TN a few years back I spoke with a biologist about pond size and crappie. He spoke of the health and fertility of the pond and a few other things. He said that with all things being average for them to do anything close to well he wouldn’t advise putting crappie in anything less than 100 acres, and at that there would have to be a regular harvest. He said that they would definitely overpopulate and stunt with few being bigger than about 8”. Many years would pass before that would happen. He spoke of folks trying many things to control their numbers but several had just killed off the pond and started over without crappie in the mix.
All that being said, I wish I was closer to offer my services to your friend for his problem.
Get the fillet knife out and heat up the grease. Good job of population control. I would love to have that problem.
