In a pond near my house theres 2 huge goldfish, obviously being a native pond the goldfish dont belong there. My friend first told me about them and then i finally saw them today. There big and i was them for my pond. I figur ill be helping the environment right? They didnt come out from under the weeds until it was dusk and then they both stayed together and patroled not taking any bait that we had. Any ideas for catching these beasts?
 
butterfly net!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
try corn, i caught about half a dozen goldfish between 10 and 14 inches long and pushing 2lbs on corn and when i ran out of corn(caught about 50 over a weekend) i used grilled cheese sandwiches rolled into a ball and molded onto a hook.
 
Yeah goldfish eat ANYTHING. It can't be that hard lol.
 
cast net? otherwise start feeding them cheetos and bread and the like regularly, then after about a week of them actually comming out to feed from you, catch 'em.

i caught a huge fantail on a mealworm once.
