The In-Fisherman magazine has a good article on pond stocking. The Lindner family has done many TV shows throughout time on stocking them, along with Hank Parker, Jimmy Houston and others who have them in their own.

lol. I've got 1000 hours of tapes from the Clason family.

But does that matter?

I do have a master's of science in fisheries biology.

Not one person you mentioned holds a degree.

It matters.

Your post is ridiculous. But you made me laugh on a Friday. Thank you sir-

Have Al contact me. It's been several years. I heard he wasn't doing well. He'll remember me. Judd Cornell

The otters will appreciate you. Between otters and the creek chickens, our creeks don't have many fish anymore. They used to be full of smallmouth, green perch and hog suckers.

I don't follow you with the creek chickens. But otters are awful for creeks or ponds. Ive heard people shoot them and skin them.

A degree? So you can read books and answer other peoples questions, maybe make their point in a thesis? I mean you didn't know what a creek chicken was either. But the ponds that the individuals fish and own most assuredly have one of them there degrees, I'd be thinking. I detect, from your response, you hold a government position/occupation. I mean you seem to take offense by my article and mentioning of names of people who stock ponds. Did your little heart feel it was solely based on the presence of crappie in the water? I don't recall my post mentioning anything about you ,sweetheart. But I am glad that you got an "lol" out of it. I hope you have a great weekend though.

Give me the scientific name of a creek chicken. Google didn't know what it was either.

This is a forum. I don't need your permission to tell you you're wrong. LOL LOL

Have a great day.

You have your opinion....but like many choices in your life they can be questioned about how correct they are.
 
If the hybrid bluegill you have are also known as copper cheeked bluegill, they are terrible for a pond. They have larger mouths than bluegill and function the same in the ecosystem as a green sunfish. I have seen scrawny, emaciated largemouth in a large pond full of copper cheeked bluegill. They are more aggressive than bass and eat most of the bass food sources before the bass can get to it.
 
No butt hurt at all. There's a recipe to do it right and then there are others that waste resources (both time and money).

The recipe i gave is good for the southeastern United States. It's good. Proven.

Last time i heard, Al Linder was not from Tennessee-

And Hank Parker only opens his mouth for a checkbook

I agree but like anything else in life....it takes a commitment to what you want to have. Imagine in a 3 acre lake....100 hybrid stripes and 100 largemouth bass....pure predators waiting with crappie breeding in the shallow water. The largemouth reigning over the 6'- and the hybrids in the 6'+. If you recall the TWRA fought against crappie in the Williamsport lakes for years....until local legend says....some guys dumped in a few 5 gallon bucket full of 10"+ specimen. The limit at Williamsport is 15.....far below the state standards and still 10". They aren't overtaking the ponds/lakes and are another resource for enjoyment. Everything takes time and effort to build. If you want to take your kids/grandkids out and catch fish....go to a pay pond. It is like vegetables....want them?....go to the grocery store...grow them....takes effort. I was offering an option to spend a little time and less money....which is why I thought he asked for help.

I didn't realize throwing a few fish in my old pond would cause so much butthurt.

It hasn't caused any butthurt to anyone...but opportunityand options.....it is a very simple thing. Do you want to drop a few fish in the pond and come back to catch monsters in a few years......that doesn't happen. It takes time and effort. There were/ponds here near my house that weren't the best for 8lb+ bass because of the owner....but because of luck. He offered payment to fish and people just happened take fish....even crappie from one of the 11 ponds of around an acre each. Sadly, those ponds were bought out and cleared around the edges for aesthetic value by the new owner. The 6'+ bass isn't there everyday, anymore. It is honestly not about who is right or wrong but what is it that you want to enjoy. Everything takes time and effort.....I went to a farm pond over "spring break" in Bellevue, Ohio in the 1990's....it was maybe 3/8 of an acre....we went home with 30 12"+ fish.....absolutely the best crappie breeding ground ever.
 
I am not wanting to sound like an @$$#0/3......but if you are wanting to build a pond......it's like building a home. If you are not going to make sure that the septic tank is 100% prepared.....owning a toilet is pointless.
 
Yes sir. I am referring to the better ones......regardless of crappie in the pond......the hybrid stripes are the best add to any pond over an acre in size. They grow large, don't reproduce (normally) and will devour the little fish that limit the growth of the pond.
 
They're (wipers) are the farm pond bass. They are the strongest and most predatory of fish. I don't have a degree but....I would admit that they are the best thing to limit the overtaking of a pond by panfish.

I think in these times, it's a requirement 😆

The greatest thing is to question who is right. Someone uses butthurt instead of upset or not conforming. These times are referring to today? My question is how much more did we lose to not responding to the post by ewc? Do you believe that anyone of us controls the way that the lake/river/pond moves? Look back and see how everyone states that you can't keep a fish out of your pond. Slow in mind, value and sadly heart.
