I built a nice pond up here on this ridge top about 25 years ago, and it was a wise move, though an expensive one at the time. I have stocked it with fish, but I don’t fish it much except when I need bait for a trotline. It is a pretty much easy place to catch a bucket full of 4 or 5-inch sunfish. Last night as I sat on the porch watching the sunset, I heard a big ol’ bullfrog bellerin’ from the pond. There is a lots of them too and in the summer they beller a lot. I catch them from the nearby river every now and then, because, as most of you know, they are great eating. But for some reason I have never eaten one from my pond. I just can’t bring myself to do it. I’d rather hear ‘em than eat ‘em
