Our little pond here is probably 1/3 acre, maybe even 1/4...tiny little thing, has otters/nutria/muskrats, snakes, turtles galore... never-ending bluegill and green sunfish...
About a month or so ago one of my boys nabbed a 3-4" LMB.... since then I've been hunting for more (unsuccessfully).
Today, another guy came and fished for 10 minutes and said he'd caught a few 1-2lb LMB
Anyhow, up near the bank weaving thru algae, I saw something I couldn't quite make out... turned out to be a black catfish, with a white stripe, and pink fins! Threw a stick-o at his head and failed miserably. Didn't even flinch.
Just looked it up and it seems this fish is native... to Brazil. I'm determined to catch it and some LMB if it's the last thing I do lol. We move in Oct/Nov but I'll probably still fish this damn pond everyday, almost no pressure at all.
Anyhow, that's my story and I figure I'd share
