EDIT: ALL TROLLING IN THIS POST IS UNINTENTIONAL. THIS IS A PERFECTLY GENUINE CURIOSITY POST; I caught him out of a pond that has invasive species rules. I don't recall how he got to my house, but he can't go back, and he can't stay. Either I find someone with a pond he and his progeny can't escape from or he becomes dinner- the only question on the latter is if he's feeding me or my chickens.
He's 12-inches long and you need two hands to hold'im.
If he's any sort of eatable, he'd make a hearty meal for two.

We’re eating our pets now? How high is gas where you are?
If you’re trying to offend someone, this is a fishing not a fishkeeping sub. We’d happily fillet him for bait.
You got to be fucking kidding me
Your dentist’s office will probably ban you for life if you try to jack their aquarium fish.
Brother, put that back into the Mall pond now before someone notices
You can eat anything once
A bass-o-matic.🎣
It’s a carp. They used to be considered quite the delicacy. You can still find recipes.
Looking at it objectively, it’s just a carp, so I’d stick to the usual methods for preparing carp.
Personally, I would have killed the fish long ago and fed it to my dog.
The inflation isn’t quite that bad, after all.
just kill it?
Goldfish are just carp
Only one way to find out. 😈
He’d make for quite a few meals actually. Besides the fillets, you have Fishhead soup, and if you take a portion of the soup and add stock or water, potatoes, carrots, more seasoning maybe and you have fishhead *stew*. Store it in the freezer for later.
How could you not recall transporting a fish to a tank in your own house? Haha, but in seriousness I would put it on your local facebook marketplace or something for someone to have as a pet
I’m going to give you a real answer since most people are trolling. Goldfish are a carp and are eaten in many parts of the world. So you can eat this giant goldfish it’s just they take on the taste of the water around them so he probably won’t taste very good. And they are very boney. The meat quality isn’t great.
You could humanely kill him and boil him for dog food if you think the taste will be off putting.
These larger koi carp can be worth some money sometimes.
Go back to that pond with a can of corn. Use the kernels as bait. Catch as many of these guys as you can and feed them to your chickens/garden/compost pile. They completely destroy ecosystems because they dig up and eat all the plants that the native fish need to lay eggs.
