It would solve the problem legally.

Spotted a rather large redtail hawk perched on a post, watching the

Maybe I need to get some really BIG fish that he couldn't lift out of
the water.

You mean bigger than the ordinary rabbit? It'll certainly take
squirrels and rabbits. I think you'll have to get your fish better
places to hide.

Even if you do get a humongous fish, it might still try and might
injure the fish badly in the attempt.

Netting is iffy. If you do netting, be sure that the hawk will be
easily able to see it. You don't want a dead hawk tangled in netting
in your pool.
