1) Ponds are out behind my house.
2) Had several aquariums as a kid. Caught fingerling bass and put them in with the tropical fish. It was fun to watch them eat my mom's fish but she wasn't too happy about it.
Have been a diehard fisherman since I was a kid and have spent significant vacation time on fishing trips all over the midwest and Canada. Only fish my ponds to sample the fish like Norm mentioned. What would be the challenge fishing? The bass follow me around the ponds in schools looking for handouts.
As the pond ages I know I'll have to cull a few fish, but will cross that bridge when it comes. Its funny but I've almost turned into a full time catch and release fisherman on recent fishing trips. Enjoy seeing a fine specimen and letting him go (except for salmon, which are tough to release).
