I have two good sized farm ponds on my property. One was built by my Grandad in about 1955. The other, on a place I bought, was built in the mid-70s. My nephew caught a 16 pounder out of the older one about 25 years ago. There was another 16 pounder caught a few years earlier in a farm pond about 1/2 mile away on another property. Both were weighed in my Dad's country store on GA certified produce scales. They grow big around he'ah, but 16 is still a long ways from 22 plus 4.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
