In Western Missouri there is a lake that doesn't follow the standard private pond formula. Lake Deanna is a larger private lake with unique habitat, unusual depth, and an experimental fish community. The deep lake has been stocked with largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, and sunfish. Bluegill and Redear Sunfish are already pushing a pound, and bass have exceeded 8 pounds in just 4 years! However, the lake is not without its issues. In this episode, Wes discusses Lake Deanna with the Pond Boss, Bob Lusk, and the lake's owner and visionary, Greg Graves. We'll take you from inception and construction, through the development of the fishery, and even prescribe management for the future. So grab a beverage and join in, you don't want to miss it!

Nationally known fisheries biologist Bob Lusk, based in Texas, has helped people design, build, stock, & manage private lakes and ponds for 40-plus years. The graduate of Texas A&M's Wildlife & Fisheries Science Department travels the country as a premier lake designer and fisheries consultant. He is also editor of Pond Boss, a national bimonthly magazine dedicated to managing private waters. By far, his favorite projects involve working with landowners to design and help them build premier fishing lakes. He helps dreams come true with his vast experience and knowledge of fish habitat, structure, cover, food chains, and genetics as he guides people to their best fishing lakes. It's truly his passion, conveying that energy to excited landowners across the nation. Lusk's career has spanned the gamut of private freshwater fisheries management. Cutting his teeth on fish farms, learning about a variety of fish species, handling the slimy little creatures, transporting and stocking them at all hours on the clock, onward to evaluating lakes and ponds, his career has evolved ultimately into helping clients learn to be better stewards of their water. Not only does Lusk edit the premier pond management magazine in the nation, he has authored hundreds of articles about the subject. He makes personal appearances at trade shows and seminars to spread the word of pond management and has been on numerous television shows over the years. He has literally hundreds of YouTube videos, countless articles, podcasts and radio interviews around the world wide web. Today, he has a weekly broadcast on the Pond Boss Facebook page, and is a featured guest speaker around the nation on all things pond. To add to his resumé, Lusk was recently inducted into the American Fisheries Society's esteemed Hall of Excellence, the first fisheries biologist from the private sector bestowed that honor. The Texas Outdoor Writer's Association awarded him their highest and most prestigious honor, the L.A. Wilke Award for excellence.
