No, I didn't name them. We have only two fish in the pond with names -- the big orange-and-black Koi is named "Koi George."

The silly bass that has spent the last three or four summers under the dock is named "Daily" because we catch him almost daily! He was about 10-11 inches, and very skinny when we first started catching him.

Last season I was very tempted, quite a few times, to invite "Daily" in for dinner, but I just can't do it. I think my granddaughter would completely disown me if he were to become dinner. He is now about 18 inches, and looks a lot like John Goodman, but just a little more green.

Growing up on a farm, my parents taught me not to name the animals. Heck, we didn't even name the cats.
