I got a 61 lb 4oz last year in the winter ocean season. What a disapointment for fight, It was like pulling up a tire that moved occasionally. She was a hog though. 20 Lbs is a small fish for that season, but it's not for the faint of heart!

You might be able to keep wipers, hybrid white perch and stripers, but that pond is not big enough for stripers.
thats what i was looking for, what is thier max size and I don't have the patience to grow a striper, wipers can grow almost a foot and a half in a year, that's the growth rate I want! Could I fit 2 wipers as the only fish with "maybe" a school of blue gill asa clean up crew
Have you built the pond yet? If you have not, I would recommend that you go a little deeper. As per the wipers, I'm not entirely sure of their max size, but under the assumption that their max size is 24", you could probably do 3-4, with the bluegills. I'm kinda guessing though, as I don't know what their true growth potential is.
Ya it's built, at 3 feet i'm digging in solid clay, the deepest part is about 3.5 and it's the drainage line leading to the pump for waste to flow out, and what about 1 striper??? I really don't want only a 2 ft fish
your pond is not big enough for one adult striper, sorry. they get huge. I recomended the wipers because they look like stripers, but stay smaller.
I really like specimen fish, it is 3.5 feet deep now and the ONLY fish id keep is the striper. I really like 4-5 ft long fish and a wiper just doesn't get big enough for me, itd be like a big lmb. I really want the striper. It would probably be a good home compared to how cramped SOME people keep things like rtcs. I'm not saying on this site. It would be pretty hard to grow a monster fish like 6 ft, I mean those grow in the entire ocean
