The 2 ponds are in a neighborhood park, a few people fish them with their kids, and many of my friends do to, but no one keeps any of the bass or bluegill to my knowledge, I was thinking of having a sign made and telling them about the project and suggest the catch and release concept to them, I have seen different adults take their younger kids fishing for bluegill at the ponds. But to answer your question, most people, including myself, do not keep any of the fish they catch.
