I don't know where else to ask this question, but do you guys think it would be unsafe to eat fish that come out of a lake on a golfcourse? It seems like all the fertilizer and whatnot would contaminate the fish. Although, this golfcourse has been abandoned for about five years. What do you guys think?
 
I wouldn't eat it any fish out of it for a LOOOONNNNNGGG time.

Dont even try it. It can stay in there for many years.
 
Most golf course ponds I have seen I would not eat fish from for years after closing.
 
it is fine all those same fertilizers and pesticides and heavy metals are poured into the ocean and big lakes every day. unless it is a specificaly high mercury area like the everglades it doesnt really mater. just not more than twice a week for adults and not for pregnant women. but that is with most fish nowadays. eat things at the bottom on the food chain because if you eat a small catfish or a bluegill that are only a couple years old it is better than eating a 6 year old bass that has eaten 1000 bluegill. wild food is better than mass industrial farm food.

grow it or kill it just dont waste it

fish from golfcoarse are not wild. those pond are built along with the golfcoarse and the fish are added, so theres nothing wild about it

besides a goldcoarse pond is a closed system.

and when it flood, like it did last year at my golfcoarse, water from the streets and pond over flowed together and had mass contamination

DONT EAT THOSE FISH!!! :screwy:
