lol i WISH my pond was big enuf...it would only be good for a short period of time. i intend to release him in the lake behind my house that also falls on my dad's property (so its totally legal) there r other huge fish and many feeder fish....this is after he eventually outgrows the pond though. another alternative would be to give it to the aquaria exhibit where they have 3 arapaimas already.

The release of previous pets is frowned upon in the U.S. that is why snakeheads & asian arowanas are illegal without proper paperwork. Will a non native species thrive in the lake ? I think the climates are a little different but then again being captive raised it will probaly have adjusted by the time it gets that big. Nice find.

Lucky F***er, i would love a lake like that and the fishing must be amazing.
put some dovii, peacock bass and umbie in there:)
hahaha yeh the fishing is crazy. in fact theres an overpopulation of fish now since we put up the 'no fishing' signs cause random people kept coming to fish. maybe its time to take those 2 signs. theres a notorious resident snakehead in the pond which is around 4 feet. no one has managed to catch it yet so its really pissing those old fogies off.
