If you find this fish that crossed the border, you are to kill it.

There was one in a community pong nearby maybe 10 years ago, some asshat dumped it out of their aquarium....

They put up multiple fences around that thing, repeatedly poisoned the crap out of it, had volunteers walking the perimeter to keep an eye for any escapes...

Speaks to the damage these fockers can do....

Apparently they are great eating.  They will be on the endangered list in 10 years.

Really fun to catch too.  Put up a hell of a fight.

I'm more worried about the invasive humans we have in the country.

What do you mean so what?  It was just a comparable statement.  Something that puts things in perspective.

Every single person on this board knows we took land from the Indians, it’s just a low IQ cookie cutter response. You didn’t put anything into perspective, we already knew, we just don’t care lol

Most of our country was bought from the French, British, and Russians.

If the Indains put up a better fight, maybe they would still have the land?

Emperor regrets introducing invasive U.S. bluegill 50 years ago

Bluegill introduced from overseas have taken over Japanese lakes and rivers since the 1960s, wiping out native species and wrecking the ecosystem.

The culprit? None other than the Emperor himself.

In a rare expression of contrition, Emperor Akihito confessed this week to bringing the fish home in 1960 as a gift from the U.S. in hopes of cultivating them as food.

This is an extremely old article, however it always stands out to me. Global trade really did in almost all ecosystems in the world.

Bluegills wiped out some of their ecosystem?  Seems so odd.  I have a bunch of them in with my koi and goldfish.

Absolutely right; and there wasn't a single Indian on any of that land.

They should be thankful we only dropped 2 bombs on them and that they have any fish at all. 

[posty 2,295]

I remember when these fish were around the Delmarva area, especially in Maryland...

[GobbleDog 815]

Snakehead are supposedly a problem in Florida too.  Don't think I've ever caught one.?. 

Over the years of freshwater fishing for Largemouth Bass I've caught.... gar, pickerel, warmouth, mudfish, striped bass, catfish, bluegill...   Along with turtles, small gators, and a bat.

Technically speaking you are correct. There were no Indians in America in the 1700's.
