Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Large Mouth that were never stocked

In a damp dark place a bullhead can survive 24hrs from personal observation...I dumped some from my cloverleaf trap in to the woods to feed raccoons last summer, they were still gulping air the next evening

In 2013 my cousins farm pond froze solid, it maxes out at 4' deep. 4 years later it had gobs of 12-18" LMB - he never stocked the pond and it is not connected to any other stream or body of water in any other way
