Feeding the fish in my half acre pond has shown returns on Growth.

I fish my farm pond and throw back what I catch as a catch and release fun hobby for me measuring weighing and throwing the fish back in to see their growth. It is a serious alternate food source if the world goes to crap, and I need to find food too.

A one pond 10.6-inch redear bluegill.

A 9.45-pound Channel cat catfish.

My pond

Pan fish are really tasty food. I even like fried perch.

@cherokeepatti I agree!

Doesn’t that hurt the fish to have a hook in its mouth?
Carissimi · F
@WillaKissing The outcome is the same for the fish.

@WillaKissing I can understand fishing for survival. I can’t understand fishing for sport. I don’t like either one for the fish, but I understand survival, and what must be done, although I don’t have to like it. It’s the inflicting pain on creatures for the “fun” of it that makes me recoil.

@Carissimi I am in disagree with you on inflicting pain on fish a sporting fun. You do you and your beliefs, and I will do me and mine.

That is a big channel cat. Female full of eggs? Are any other species in there?
WillaKissing · 56-60
@TexChik Not catfish wise, no. Largemouth Bass, Sunfish, bluegill, Black crappie, A few hybrid striped bass, and yellow perch.

Did you stock it yourself or did it always have them?
WillaKissing · 56-60
@Starcrossed I paid to have the pond put in and stocked the pond using a fish hatchery.
Those are nice sized fish
Montanaman · M
What? No Bass?😆
WillaKissing · 56-60
@Montanaman There are largemouth Bass in there, and a few Hybrid striped bass, I just have not caught one noteworthy of weighing and taking a picture of as of yet this season.

May of 2023 catch.
