moved my peacock bass to a pond "20 pics"

some may know i have been planning to move my p bass.
also made the tote for this.
well i did it today.
i put the bin in my truck empty.
carried out tank water bucket by bucket.
then i netted them one by one,putting them in a bucket of water.
i drained the tank half way.
man was that a splashy experience "how do you guys with "big" fish do it"
as i brought them out,i measured them.
the girl "i think a girl" "the more faded one" was 10.5" long
the smaller one was 10"
and the big one was 11.5"
i caught these 3 in miami,they were about 3", this was last august.
got all 3 to the bin and we were off. "i forgot to take a pic of all 3 in the bin!"
then i netted them out of the bin one at a time and got a pic and let them go in my parents pond "about a half acre give or take.
the little one was still sitting on the bottom when we left.
i seen him swim a few minutes.hope he does ok "probably just scared.
the other two,one was just gone.
the other i could see swimming out in the middle like they owned the pond
we now have the only pond with p bass in this county
im sure i missed something in the story,oh well on with the pics

2nd to last pic,theres a white pole in the water.
its 25' long,in the ground a bit,and the water goes above the pole.
so its about 20' deep,1/3rd of the pond is the deep hole.
