AKA Pond Fish, Pond Johnny, and Cyprus Trout around here. A blast to catch but a big one can destroy your regular fishing tackle. Years ago our local Western Auto store had a contest every Saturday morning where the biggest fish brought in by closing time got a free Zebco rod and reel. I'd go out to a washout on the levy and fish for them and won the contest week after week. Fifteen pounders were not uncommon. Those cheap model Zebcos they gave for prizes didn't last long catching those.
