Probably wouldn't do you any good if they did. I live on a lake (named lake, not a retention pond) and the owners on the lake chipped in about 10 years ago and paid to have it stocked. Took the birds about 3 months to get all the good fish out. Now, only carp remain.
If you were going to just catch and release, be very careful of the gators. They will come from out of nowhere and grab that fish off of your line.
