I am not sure how goggle eye got in my pond but I am glad they are there!! Pond was completed in the summer of 2023, stocked threadfin, copper nose and shell cracker with some fat head minnows that fall. Put in bass last summer in June. I have fought migratory schools of cormorants for two winters and the pond is next to a creek bottom. I think somehow those large schools of cormorants brought them in.

My bass are over two pounds and the big bream are about a pond. The goggle eye are 1 lb and a little more and are great fighters.

Does any hatcheries sell them? If not they should.
