i was fishing a lake here in city limits about a month ago. i usually only take my son to fish there because the fish are small (he's 3 years old) but i've fished it a few times when i didnt have time to drive out of town to my usual spot.i didnt have time to go so i picked up a stogie and thought i'd fish this town lake.when i got there there was a family there fishing minnows with bobbers and catching some small perch.i started casting a spinner with a jig on it and wasnt catching anything so i started walking down the bank trying different spots and i casted out and was kinda yankin the jig then letting it drop and than yanking again and i caught a fish so i thought. when i was reeling it in it looked like an odd colored fish and when i brought it out of the water it was a frickin goldfish and a really big goldfish at that.i accidently snagged it. i started cussing and freaking out because i dont want to catch goldfish and the dad from down the bank came over and asked if i thought that all there was in the lake was goldfish and i told him that i've caught alot of perch and smallmouth but never a goldfish before. i have no idea why there would be a big goldfish in the lake.i dont fish there anymore.i only take my son and if he catches one he would think its awesome.
