I have them stocked in my 5 acre pond. Excellent bream to stock in a pond, fast growing and aggressive. I stocked them 5 years ago when I drained and redid my pond. In the first year they doubled in size, now this was with a feeding program. I have caught several the last couple of years around the 2lb. mark, and I know that they are bigger ones in there, as my daughter hooked one that was as big as a dinner plate, but it broke the 4lb line on her pole. If you have a pond and love to bream fish you can't go wrong with them.
