It has been a day..
Caught all the fish and put them in 4 300 gallon stock tanks...
Dropped a huge butterfly on his head from about 3 ft in the air.. We will see if he is ok from that...
Then I net the tanks clamp them well and one of my huge butterflys tears a hole in the middle with one big leap and starts bouncing all over the net on the outside till we catch him.. Had to cover that one with metal lathe cause of the hole.
Then one of my itty babies gets caught halfway thru a net opening and we saved him..
Then right before dark I go out and the itty babies tank drained all out except for about an inch... babies are little so they survived

UGH... This is only day one and they have 4 or 5 days left till pond is done... Don't know who is more stressed.. me or the fish. I dread looking out on them in the morning...
