Nice! Those baby will grow up fast after gulping down massive amount of the fry. The lakes around here house to massive quantities of these stipers. Very beautiful looking pond.

Great pics Dick and the kids look like they are having fun!!!! Wait till you get one of them on your new fangled fly rod this spring!!!!

OOOOOOOOOO I wanna fish THAT pond! Looks perfect for kick boatin!

Dick, do you feed your hybrids, or is it all natural forage?

I know how they pull on an ultra light so I'm thinking it will be loads of fun to catch one on the fly rod..

Jen come on up and wet your feet.

Tony it's sort of half and half now. This year will be better I bought a automatic feeder I plan on giving them a regular high protein diet. I want big gills so I think they will have to come out after the catfish.

Some great looking fish. Better looking smiles.

getting kids into fihing is what it is all about.

Thanks for shareing.

Yea Chris that's one of my boy's names, I Don't fish it much so I really sort of let it go. The people with the fish bottom which you can not see is my son and the lady still looks like a kid is his girl friend and her son. I only have 12 hybrids and they managed to catch 3 of them. Now that I can't get out like I use to I'll be giving the pond much more attention.

That is one great looking pond! I'd take one of those in my backyard any day!

It really is kind of rough right now Jen. I really haven't paid attention to it like I should have. This year I'll be giving it special attention. It's 3/4 acres and L shaped. Had it dug in 1990 along with the small pole barn. Then we had to house built, so the pond was first. It really is a good pond and in the summer I don't go down much because we are on heavy clay.

Really nice, Dick. I envy you.
