Big, fat, white goldfish.

I usually catch these:

Today I caught this:

That thing was FAT.
Cant say how much it weighted, but felt pretty darn heavy. Felt like it was at least 5lb.
This thing gave a pretty good pull on my handline reel, and it felt really soild. Was a good fight.

Umm..........sorta?
I mean, it is white/red fish in dark green water so........unless its deep down, you can see a faint red/white in the water.

How to you fish for them, I have a goldfish pond near my place but I don't know how to effectively target them.

Amazing. I used to go for gold fish when I was a child. Unfortunately I don't have a gold fish pond around my area anymore. I would love to try it again.

Do they fight well?

Bread molded around a circle hook. You have to mold it so that only 4-5mm on the hook tip is exposed, and the rest of the hook is completely covered. I fish mine either on a float(2-3 foot from the surface) or a slip sinker(bottom rig). I put a fairly big piece onto the hook so sunfish is unlikely to get it.

If you are using a 6lb line, ya. They are like carp, except smaller.

Those are some fatties - especially the white one

Whereabouts you catching these in the GTA?

There's a pond by Vaughan that's full of them and some Kois too. I used to catch them on carp rig. Mill Pond I think was the name by Bathurst close to Major Mckenzie.

I used to fish Mill Pond as well. I've read somewhere on this forum that Mill Pond in Richmond Hill is closed to fishing at least by the city
