Goldfish Gone Wild (MA, August 2010)

This video is a bit of a spoof on shows like river monsters and my own self but all the fishing was actually real and nothing was staged nor was it shot in someone's backyard ornamental pond. Over the summer a couple of friends of mine told me about a drainage pond out by a local wooded area that contained only Golden Shiners, Rosy Red (Fathead) Minnows and Goldfish. Rumor has it the pond was stocked by someone 6 years ago and the fish took to it and since have bred and now thrive. I was curious about how big the goldfish and shiners grew. So one weekend I decided to check it out with some friends. It was some not so serious fishing and a little goofy but still fun. This is also a YouTube experiment to see what kind of ratings such a silly video will get. But with all kidding aside the goal was to catch some feeder fish for my aquarium pets at home and to bring back a couple of large goldfish to add to my fish tank (which we accomplished). Besides how many people can say they caught their own pet goldfish. Truly one of my most wackiest fishing excursions ever. Click and watch this video to see how it went.

@TheCichlidGeek where can u find wild goldfish?

[TheCichlidGeek]

@squidyboy0 Goldfish can grow much bigger then this, I have caught gold fish twice that size in ponds like this. They can grow a ft long, given the time and space i belive they can grow even bigger.

This was such a funny video! Who knew gold fish could grow so large and beautiful when left alone in a pond. That was a good idea taking those two goldfish home at the end; they were really pretty.
