A new guest in one of my ponds!

This guy appeared today in my pond. Yet another unwelcome guest... Any suggestions to remove him?

On a serious note call wildlife and fisheries to be proper, but a .22 between the eyes works fine. If you plan to trap and transfer chicken works great as stated above.
