In my mind you answered your own question.

I might add a few large goldfish to my pond
for exactly what you state...You Saw Them.

My albino tilapia get the most attention with people
saying "wow look at that fish swimming by"....
the kids love seeing a fish swim by and it's so much
easier to spot an albino tilapia or white/gold koi.

That may or may not be the reason the person put the one
in the pond you were at, but that's why I may throw a
few in my "pot of stew".



Fishing has never been about the fish....
