Hey again guys. I have a pond in my backyard. It has some really awesome bass swimming around in it. One I caught about four years ago was nearly 13 lbs.(no proof, just my word) And a handful of 5-8 lbers. There are also some freakishly large crappie, and some gruesomely large bluegill. With the bigs, I am of course dealing with tons of smaller fish. Not so many small crappie which I find strange, cuz they are notorious for overpopulating, but far too many little bass. The bluegill are food for bass, so I can live with them.
I try to cull as many bass as possible every year, only releasing fish larger than 16" back into the pond. The rest are used as fertilizer for my garden or food for my belly! The last couple years I've noticed the larger fish are growing thin, and I can't seem to keep up with the smaller bass population.
Soooooo, Do Musky eat baby bass???? They eat pretty much any **** thing they want right? Anybody know of a hatchery that would sell musky? I just want two or three females, maybe 12" long, I shall feed them and nurture them, pet them, and hug them, and then when they're ready, I shall walk the dog on them!!!!
I would estimate the pond to cover 5/8 of an acre with an average depth of 6', the deepest being 11', and it is spring fed, and healthy.
Any help/advice will go a long way. Thanks.

. Everybody says put catfish in it. I hate catfish. I don't know why, but I just do. Call it an unhealthy prejudice. Coincidentally, I also hate cats. Maybe there's a connection!
