“The work included electrofishing, a method of measuring the health of the fish population.”

If you or I did that, we'd go to jail....................

Goldfish can get that large in the wild; this one is exceptionally large either way.

He added that while the goldfish is non-native to South Carolina, it was not considered an invasive species to the lake.

I would be interested to know why they made that decision.

Belons in somebody’s Koi pond.

While I had no clue they got so big, I did realize they are like trees. You plant trees in a small pot and the roots can’t grow so the tree stays small. You keep goldfish in a small bowl, don’t feed them much, and they stay small too.

Nature is amazing. God had too much fun designing all the different things he made. “Gee, what if I do this?”

They are a species related to carp. As kids in the 60’s and 70’s we’d see huge ones in local streams and ponds. In NJ. People dump their pet goldfish and the survivors keep growing.

Me and my brother used to see big golden carp in the Delaware in Trenton when we were kids. They were big.
