I used to worry about snappers in the pond, but after reading a good bit both here and on other sites I think my concern was unfounded. I leave them alone....

Probably worth mentioning again that they will indeed raid a stringer - a big one will even worry through some of the cheap fish baskets if left alone long enough. I've got at least 2 baskets that have holes eaten through them that I had to re-wire shut.
