Question

Answer 1

you should never introduce a new species of fish into a pond, lake or creek, you don't know how it will react with the fish already there... not only that it's illegal in most states unless you own the body of water....

Answer 2

First of all consider the size of the pickerel. I can assume since it is a redfin that is rather small.  I would probably just leave it in your aquarium if you want it to live.  It will be quickly eaten if you release it into your pond by a bass or catfish.
