i have several ponds that we fish in and am thinking of stocking one of the smaller ones with some very large fish for some sport fishing. any ideas of what fish would grow fast and big. the ponds are well away from any natural water sources so escape is not a worry.
monster fishing

nope not in a little pond you would need a plentiful source of food and unless youare overrun with little panfish but if you wnat to try in your area i would only suggest big cats but there is a guy that will stock your pond with only monster bass and other game fish cant remember his name but hes from texas you could also try some pike
the littl pond is about 15 foot deep and about half the size off a foot ball field. there is tons and tons of shiners, minnows, bluegill, etc. im looking for something bigggg adult pacus, 4-foot+ cats ect.
pacus wont survive the winter you are going to have to look for native fish probally best bet buy a huge cooler and go fishing in the river or other spots and bring your catch home to your pond
that is why i was looking for something fast growing. they could probaly go in about late april and the water temp usually stays above 70 until september
to much money to spend on no guarantee of catching them go with natives or research your lattitude and i am sure that there are other fish that you could get from all around the world that would survive winter and get huge try sturgeons
we have alligater gar locally. maybe something related to them but bigger. they are ugly as sin but fun to catch.
on the pacus i can get bulk shipments of 2-3" fish about 50 of them for $50 to $70 depending on supply
they wont grow big enough in one season and i would not recomend it they grow fast but not that fast you will only have 6"-8" pacus before they die in the winter
