I like the longear myself and have had a few in tanks. I put them in my pond and actually caught each of them once. They have now probably been eaten by a LMB, but then again maybe they were lucky.
I guess if I happen to catch them again some day I will know. As there are only 2 in my pond. I have thought of adding more, but may wait and try that with a different pond a few years down the road.
Would be neat to see how large one could get in a pond and how they take to feed.
