Electro-Shocking my Boss's Pond

[Lightninrod]

My boss asked me if I wanted to go down to his pond Thursday and meet with a man that was going to do an intial pond management study of his Bass pond.  So I said, "No"----NOT!  I'm going to meet the guy as he needs an extra 'hand' in his boat to help scoop the fish out of the water after they've been shocked.  I hope to get to take some pics while there too and I hope he shocks up some bigguns.

The pond is only about 5 years old and is about 5 acres in area.  Some of y'all have seen some pics of Bass I've caught there recently including this 6.5 lb, 23 incher:

I'll of course post what he finds and some pics too I hope.

Found this Relative Weight Table while searching:

Hey Dan,

That's a great fish!  

That table looks strikenly similar to the table we have here: http://bassresource.com/fish_biology/growing_larger_bass.html

When you get a moment, take a look around this site.  I think you'll find you'll need to do a lot less searching on the Internet.

I can almost bet you'll be amazed at what the shocking shows. 8-)

Shocking is awesome to see.The shock rods go down and the fish come floating up.Take a video camera L-rod,get those hawgs on tape.

I just found out this morning that we are going to shock/test my boss's two ponds.  He has a much smaller(2 acres?) one a 1/4 mile or so above the one I fish in.  I'm to meet the p/m guy at 10 AM tomorrow.

fbl:  No video camera, just a digital Canon.

Lightninrod, I can't wait to see what you come back with. Sounds very interesting.

Hey LR,

Can't wait to see the pics.

I am absolutely certain there will be some huge bass in these little ponds

Can't wait for the pictures.  A map showing the exact location along with local roads and the location of any and all large dogs in the vicinity would be helpful as well.

I'd be there with you, but I'm still freezing my tail off in Madhouse's driveway, waiting for the lobster and beers........

Y'all come on down .  My boss's ponds/farm are just across the highway from the American Camellia Society!  Bet y'all thought that we don't have any 'culture' down here in the deep South ;D ?

Uh oh, you made this one too easy!

Thanks goodness for Google earth. Too bad the lake wasn't across HWY 49, it would've had a little better detail.

It is across HWY 49.  See "Walker Road"?  That leads to my boss's farm house, just a 1/2 mile due west from the HWY.  The ponds are visable; the smaller one in the 'V' of the white lines(dirt trails) and the bigger one just South of the east-west white line and at the end of the vertical white line coming down from the "W".  There they are and thank you .
