Some lustrum ago ponds like the one behind Superior Lumber in Glendale had biggun bass, catfish, crappie. The bigguns were kept too often, or they were't released properly ( for eating the 10",11" should be kept, they taste better).
I haven't caught a fish there, in a long time. All i see are rough-skinned newts, & a few turtles.
In the future, if you want your children to have the Joy of catching warm water fish like bass, channel catfish, crappie, WE Need to preserve our fisheries. Catch & release the Big Ones.
Thankyou.
