I want my koi and my comets to grow big enough to turn the tables on the raccoons that try to eat them.
I can't get em that big lol, in my old neighborhood raccoons were the (apparently) the favorite prey of the coyotes grey wolf hybrids(cats and small dogs aren't eaten by this pack)

Around here some raccoons and cats eat together but I have observed some raccoons piss and poop in the food bowls that neighbors have out for the cats.
Maybe u can use firecrackers to scare em off,or if allowed u can make a stylish new hat or whatever(I once made leather from a catfish my friend found).

wanna grow a gigantic bluegill in your pond ? First off get only one bluegill about 2 to 3 inches(get only one because they stop growing once they reproduce),u can feed them the same pellets u feed your koi and goldfish,u can also throw in insects,worms,minnows,bread,krill,etc.
Bring the bluegill in during the winter months for even better growth. Expect a fish over a pound.

Yeah but I don't want it hassling my koi.The pond is not very big and I fear a fish like that could become a problem in there.

My friends pond isn't very big either and it has goldfish with a bunch of big 1 pound hybrid bluegills,everyone gets along fine(some of the smaller goldfish aren't even 3 inches long)
