had a pond and they became "your" fish?

Mine did... Not totally sure that is a good thing. I caught the biggest bass I'd ever personally seen (9 or 10 #). Didn't want to spend the time it took for a photo. Wanted to get it back in the water asap. When I see a picture of someone holding a big bass up by its lip, I cringe. I stopped using plastic worms much after reading about them being lodged in fish's stomachs. I seldom use lures with treble hooks any more...

Goal for the future is to start using some of those lures again and putting a lot more of my fish in the skillet instead of letting them die of old age in the pond.
