The Greater Blue was there almost every day, the green not as often, but that pond had so many blue gill my kids fished it, and my neighbor brought his son over. I would throw floating fish food in and the water churned up with blue gill...the pond was a little less than an acre...What I found interesting was watching the blue gill hollow out a nest near the edge of the pond before laying eggs...they would use their tales to make the nest....I think the problem was the bass were put in way too late to make a difference in the population of blue gill...it was like that when we bought the farm...
loved that show, wish the BBC would run the reruns....
