I was cat-fishing with my son on Saturday at one of the local ponds. Within 10 minutes his rod bent over and he started to reel it in. As the line got closer I noticed a decent size reddish fish at the end of it. My first though was WTF?!, a parrot fish?!, but of course it wasn't as it was almost in. My second thought was whatever it was it was going in the tank no matter what, but then realized it was a goldfish. It was about 3-4 pounds and about 13". I'm guessing it's a comet..............

Nope. Common red. Comets have longer tails. He's a fattie, though.
 
Yes, common red goldfish, not a comet. Nice catch, BTW.
