Thanks!
I'd hoped to give him a few of my GF (about 18 months old) with the
minnows, because my little 500 gallon pond is a bit crowded, but he
couldn't catch them and got impatient. No one believes that those little
feeders will grow so much.

Best to leave the water still

Often the bottom layer is warmer
than the top layer.
A bigger concern is if your friend has
too many fish in his small pond. Overcrowding
causes lots of problems.
Fish just slow down in the cold, they don't
feel chilly like we do when we look down at
them in that cold water!
