i fish regularly at my local golf courses, even in winter months if caught nice fish. the biggest i have caught were close to 7lbs, and several of them (10 or more) over 5lbs. as well. ive even found one gold pond loaded with bluegills, some reaching over a pound as well as monster carp one of which i caught last season well over 30lbs. which was awesome. i never catch to eat in them but if you can find one to fish i highly recommend it for anyone!
