Pond Boss Forums INTRO New Forum Member Introduction Favorite/Least Favorite fresh water fish and why?

I don't have one favorite fish. Released regrets? CC. While it's cool to have some big fish in the pond, I think they eat a lot more fish than people reallize once they get bigger. Plus they are VERY smart once caught and released once, maybe twice.

My neighbor brought his 4 year old son over to fish from the pier. Wes hooked a fish and handed the rod to his son, then had to grab his son's belt to keep him from getting yanked in the water. Wes grabbed the rod with his other hand, but the fish wanted nothing to do with him and broke the line. It had to be one of the big CC in the pond, I'm guessing the few that are left should be well over 20# now.
