I grew up in Texas - when I was a kid we fished stock tanks period.
So if I call a body of water a tank, a pond, or a lake it is all the same to me.
Just like a bluegill is a perch and a perch is a bluegill.
So no disrespect intended - I was trying to complement you on your body of water - nothing more nothing less

When I bought this property in 2010 it had a silted in stock tank that dried up in the summer. No big deal, I’d just take my little John Deere and move as much dirt as could. Over time I turned it into a nice pond and stocked it with minnows, bluegill, redears, bass. Then later, some channel catfish from Fishndude.
Summer 2018, all of the shallows (1/2 the pond) dried up. So I rented an excavator with a 3 ft bucket for a 3 day weekend.

Have a few projects planned for our small pond. Slightly under an acre, built by my grandfather in the 50's. Put in two new brush piles last year that the fish are utilizing like crazy. It's cool to see tons of forage fish inside the thick stuff and bass right outside.
Planning to build a few pvc structures and break out the scuba gear to place them in the deeper end of the pond. Also, will add some tilapia and try to see how many bass to pull out. Had a fungal issue over the past few months that killed at least 20 fish, not sure how many did not surface.
