This is a hybird called the Georgia Giant that runs up around 5 lbs.
If I had a pond to stock I would try some, though I wonder how they would fair this far north.

I have caught a few that were about as big as my baseball hat and thought they were big.

That is the Jaws of the small pond fishing. Might just pull the boat around.
