Its only about a 5 to 10 minute drive. Just depends on getting stopped at the traffic lights or not. These crate sized coolers are large like a tote. Only reason we were going to bag them was so we can acclimate them a little easier. I will make a zillion trips if I have too, they will have the best TLC I can give.

I also have a few totes I could use too. These coolers have lids to them as well, I think all will be fine.

"I'm willing to get rid of most of mine to have these huge babies."

But, but,.... how COULD you?!?!

You don't like the fish you've had for years, and raised yourself? ??? How can you just toss away fish you've been looking at and enjoying for years?? ??

Ky Kim · « **Reply #35 on:** March 31, 2008, 06:30:27 PM »

Okay here are some pics. They're awful pics, we were crunched for daylight. We made it in 3 trips, she had a cooler also. In one pic you can see dh and his foot for size comparison to the bags we used and how big the orange one is.

Dh cleaned off our pump to the falls, and afterward it keeps tripping the breaker. I got pumps running though....good thing I bought those from you Bonnie, because I've got the big one going along with the other I had in the pond. Hopefully dh can figure out what has happened.

I promise to get more pics, oh btw she gave me the bridge. We managed to get a small load of creek rock. She also gave me a concrete Koi, its tail has been broke but I have the perfect spot for it, and the tail won't even be seen. She also gave me her telescoping koi net. Theres alot more stuff I'm eyeballing in her yard. All I have to say is, thats cool and she said you can have it..LOL.

More

I promise to get better pics later. Wish we weren't in so much of a hurry and could have taken a good shot of each one before we released them. After netting them I think most are about 15 inches and maybe 3 are 18". There is one Sarasa that's in there what wants to be a Koi. Its pushing 12" I bet. Its the one in the 2nd pic from the beginning. I'll have to get a closer look at it to make sure it isn't a Koi.

I'm so disappointed in the pictures, there horrible.

Pic of one in the pond through the net. There's a couple of the big ones I really don't care for I'll sort out the keepers soon. Look at all the goldies checking her out. Rain permitting, were going to do the goldie round up this weekend. They look small in the bags, I'm so embarassed of the ugly pics.

WOWOWOW!!! Those are beautiful fish! You must be all tuckered out after all the relocating. But then again I bet you were all pumped up about the great find! Great pics for such a high day!

Ky Kim · « **Reply #40 on:** March 31, 2008, 07:57:17 PM »

Pumped up yes, but pumped out too. Looks like my waterfall pump is done for. Gonna have to get me something right at 3000 gph. Good thing for me buying those from Bonnie, I have 3 different pumps running right now, 2 to the falls and 1 breaking water surface.

Thanks, it really did go smoothe. Only one gave us troubles catching. The lady caught them all for us, I helped with the one. Nice weather temps and all.

Thanks all........

Lawanna that's the one she called Momma, so I guess that's what we'll call it too. Normally I don't name the fish, only if they deserve one. Like the one I had jump out several years ago, and was all covered in dirt, and dried. Plopped him back in the pond, and said your Lucky so that stuck. He's still here today and that was 4 years ago.

I will get some better pics of them for ya. Let me get my water cleared back up. It would help if it would ever stop raining long enough. I left my net on until they get settled in, but they act like they've always be in my pond.

It held off until about midnight last night and poured all night long again. I'm so sick of rain, last year we were doing rain dances.

Thanks Tink, as I'm tying this the sun is trying to hard to come out. Sure hope so, it will bump the temps up a few more degrees.

I had to give in and turn on the heat today, just do knock out the damp chill in the house. I couldn't stand it, I tried too with sweats, socks, blanket just didn't do it.
