I'll hafta brag a little bit about this 20 acre pond....a few years ago, I purchased 50% ownership in it with a relative, who has no desire to fish or maintain it....I began managing it, intensively, and the fruits of my labor are now being realized.

The MS Dept. of Fisheries biologist told me it would be impossible for me to grow large crappie in a land-locked pond because the crappie would become over-populated and stunted....I told him I wanted to attempt it, anyday'umway, and sent him on his way.

I just used a little common sense approach, and it seems to have worked out rather nicely.
