Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

I think I get more joy out of watching folks pull nice fish out of my pond then me catching them myself! And yes she did hold it not for long though and she needed a glove!! I set the fish on the ground quick so she could grab it and then I took the pic!! It wasn't easy for her but now way was she letting go!!! lol.. We let the fish go and it took right off fairly quick and seemed good to go so I think were ok there. Water was still cool enough for it to be ok I think!

By calculation with standard weight it is around 20-21". Last edited by Bill Cody; 03/02/16 03:18 PM. aka Pond Doctor & Dr. Perca Read Pond Boss Magazine - America's Journal of Pond Management

I did not measure this one but I caught a 4 lbs last year and it was right near 20 inches so I am sure you are right on with you estimate. We will be fishing for them again this weekend and going to clean one and see how they taste. I will get a weight and measurement and mouth gape as well if we catch one.

Must make ya happy to bring immense pleasure to the one who is responsible for who you are. when ya clean one ta eat, be sure to cut off the dark meat along the outsides. Do nature a favor, spay/neuter your pets and any weird friends or relatives.

Did you keep it, or just keep catching and releasing? Do they get hook shy? If you do keep them, how do they taste? 9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
