[GSAS-Member] shubunkin rescue - success!

[haika@drizzle.com]

Meredith and I will have to write up something about this adventure!
Bottom line is that we successfully rescued 20 or so goldfish of all
sizes. There are plenty more in the pond, but we learned that due to the
vegetation (a huge hunk in the middle which was way too heavy for us to
pull out) and ice chunks, the seine net was ineffective. However, we were
able (through brute bucket-brigade force and some hose siphoning) to drain
down the pond enough to start netting fish. We need a long handled net to
catch some of the ones that are hanging out in the middle. I'll have
Sunday and Monday off....if anyone wants to come help get the rest. It's
way too dangerous to do this alone....story to follow (heads up Steev!).
