Title: What kind of grass is it?

This grass is growing wild in my bayou. What kind of grass is it and is it going to get out of control....grass carp. Fish are big and gorgeous.

The green stuff is hydrilla, the floating stuff is a form of algae. They both will get bad is left unchecked. 10 or so grass carp would be heaven with that.

Looks similar to the kind I asked about last year and I think we decided it was coontail. It's great to burn a spinnerbait through.(https://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2F619687a2-f9de-8065.jpg&hash=d1effbdf5eb914cafcdbc0176c3add5d46e18a2d)(https://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2F619687a2-fa00-c962.jpg&hash=c69292ff8f9cf0f8ecb4b3df983de3480af6e5ac)(https://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2F619687a2-fa1d-99bc.jpg&hash=40669af75cc26da65e08c79e7e0841d8bffcc2ba)

Kyle31, great photos ~c~

Judge, looking at it this morning... I hastily spoke. In the bottom pick there is a darker more mature growth, and that made me jump the gun on hydrilla. The stuff your holding matches the photos well.

Unchained, the pond is not that big, it's long but narrow. By May he'll be able to walk across it :shocking: however it would be a great way to practice punching ~b~

Just an FYI, It may be thick on top but there is a lot of room underneath it. Just like a canopy of a forest. Fish love it. Would rather have to much than none at all...

Looks like coontail, but there is a type of niad that looks like that too. The niad will stink and coontail not as much.

Either way you are much better off with it than without it.
