I have gizzard shad in my pond and as of yet have not seen any fish as large as the ones being held up in the pictures. The bass really feed heavily on them around the aerators where the shad congregate. Im not sure why they haven't overpopulated or grown to giant size. If I started over the only fish i would not stock for sure would be catfish. p.s. I did not stock the gizzard shad
