Yeah, thats after I hauled it home for the hero shots. That pond is actually in my back yard and I wouldnt wash my hands or knife in it. Its all run off of the horse farms next door...nasty stuff but for some reason holds some nice bass (two 8#plus largemouths and tons of small mouth), catfish, croppie, etc. When I bought the house the man told me they stocked it in 83 and its been catch and release only. I have caught about every fish in there and thats the only thing I would do is throw them back!
