We stocked 12"-14" CC in a pond. We fin clipped all the stocked CC. 3 years later the customer called and said he had CC spawning in his pond because he caught one 12" long and all the rest were 5#. He sent me a picture and it had it's adipose fin clipped off. It never grew.

Just make sure that the small fish you are seeing aren't bullheads.
