Yep!

It's only a few feet, less than 50, from the pond to the tractor. Got me a large dip net on a long pole. One scoup, end up with maybe 20 small minnows. Take the net over to the tractor, open the door, dump it out. Watch the mad scramble. they actually start getting excited when they see me get the net off the top of the tractor.

One thing. Aluminum pole on the net-- electric fence-- don't mix'em. Got my toes curled yesterday.
