You ca n never trust people to go and save the fish, because telling everyone the location is bound to attract some people who just want to catch and harvest the fish, all it takes is one group of people with nets to completely wipe out the fish populations in the local area.

it’s good to save the fish when you find em and this is a fantastic video but it’s not a tragedy that the shifting tides make and remake these stranded ponds ad infinitum. It’s just nature. Just like the freeze, we humans tend to think we have more control over nature and natural cycles than we actually do. Them ponds is fantastic food for gators, coons, coyotes, bobcats, and ocelots! and birds!

Depending on the distance between those cut off ponds and flowing water id be throwing a net and running them over to the water or dumping them in a giant tank, you can get a giant 100-300 gallon water tank pretty cheap, fits in my truck bed and id ferry fish back and fourth.
