Yeah my family eats alot of fish and there will be many many meals taken out of the pond each year. The pond will be fished in and fish taken out and eaten on a regular basis. I have only caught two LMB over 12 inches. I think they were introduced farily recently when I bought the place. They were a few bucket transfers from a nearby lake, it was never stocked with alot of them. The CC were 6 to 8 inches long when they were stocked.
