This particular pond was stocked about 4 years ago with the previously mentioned fish species. So far, only 1 RES (which was gigantic) has been caught, and no HBG. Tons of BG and CNBG though. The pond could’ve had a partial die off or just no reproduction due to a large amount of predators such as overcrowded bass, giant BH, and giant (10lb+) channel catfish. Because of this, I am suprised to catch a fish such as this. It seems only the BG can reproduce in great enough numbers for a sustainable population.
