WENT TO WILLOW POND LAST NIGHT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR,COUGHT 6 CHANNEL CATS,AND 1 GOLDFISH I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE IS GOLDFISH IN THERE. THE CAT'S WERE ALL GOOD SIZE 15'' . AND I SAW BIGGER ONES' BEING PULLED OUT. MISSED ABOUT 6 OR 7 OR MAYBE IT WAS THOSE GOLDY'S PLAYING WITH MY WORM. IT WAS ALSO VERY CROWDED.

I had the same problem at bountiful pond on cats as well. Almost got into a fist fight with a guy cuz i wouldnt give him my fish I was catching. I released hundreds of cats in a week span. I quit going after that week though. I have come to realize that the urban fisheries will always be a put and take fishery. As much as all of us would love to see selective harvest in them. I dont believe the purpose of their creation was from that mindset. It is marketed and created for kids and people to catch fish, usually big fish and buy more licenses etc for later years to come. Most people will keep the fish within regulations. Sadly it is a day after day after day thing which it cannot possibly handle. So the cycle begins over stock it catch alot take alot out nothing left. I think its inevitable though i agree with you fish fear me.
