Release Sterile Grass Carp into Ponds

you could do and let me show you this grass I'm just gonna put reach out in here and get you some this is the grass that I'm talking about that that water grass that grows in there it's not very thick and it only goes out probably about 15 feet out into the water but if you're fishing out here and you're reeling in you're catching a lot of grass every time you fish so we've been about four minutes now and we're gonna let the fish ooze out now these fish are big they I don't want I'm reaching in the bag here probably shouldn't be touching them but they're about that big okay so they're about seven inches something like that go just that fine so it's just that simple if you've got a pond that's covered in lilies or you have a grass problem in your pond and you want to get it under control and you don't want to use chemicals and poison your pond then this is a way to do it now there are several chemicals out there that you can put in that will block sunlight through the water but that just basically is very non selective in other words that's going to kill everything and we don't want to kill everything we want to keep our little ecosystem we've got fish habitat all through here we've got bass habitat we've got bluegill brim perch catfish all sorts of fish in our little farm pond here and this is one way to maintain your farm pond without putting any chemicals in now I've got another bag of fish right in here and we're going to go right across the way to our other new pond all right we're over here to the other pond I might as well talk to you and show you this - we're gonna start introducing our fish what you need to know the reason the grass carp are so big when you get them there again six or seven or even eight maybe 10 inches the reason they're so big is because predators predation okay so predator fish will gobble them up now we know this pond only has catfish in it and those catfish are pretty small but for predation purposes these fish are expensive so the 10 fish that I bought cost around 155 to 160 bucks they're somewhere around fifteen dollars a piece so they're expensive and they're worth their weight in gold because once again they're gonna eliminate that from your pond that's what this is all about holistic pond management doing things right awesome they swam right on I hope
