Had a DO crash in my pond (2 hours from my home) a couple of months ago. When I finally got up there to check it out I saw a dead paddle fish that looked to be about 25" long (Body) and about 15-20 pounds. A neighbor stopped by and I was telling him I had no idea how it got there. His son came up and said he had caught it in the Ohio River three years ago and put it in then. So they can live in bodies of water of about an acre. That's what happens when you can't be at your pond all the time.
