This again is why I don't like to have a conversation with you, your posts rarely ever make sense. You just made a statement that goldfish are an important forage fish, that's promoting goldfish as being important, how do you expect other to take that when someone that works supposedly for state tells everyone that? If I'm talking to my local game warden and he tells me goldfish are an important forage fish for our musky, that tells me something and others as well and it's not rocket science what it is. Or if he tells me that cats are an important food for yotes, does that mean we should just let all our cats run wild only because the yotes will eat them? No.... Stop and think about what you write for a moment.....
And again, I'm NOT shoving carp down your throat, did I say that in any of my posts? When I speak of trash fish that you refer to them as, I'm speaking about the whole misconception of the trash fish talk, it doesn't just stop at carp, its gar, musky, etc. I don't care what you don't like, doesn't bother me in the least bit but spreading around lies that any fish are trash fish, especially someone working for the state, I would be embarrassed if that was me. You definitely need to be educated.
If what I say aren't facts then prove it. Most opinions are useless, (if not all) as they don't state fact or fiction, opinions are just something we come up with when we really can't figure out if it's the truth or false, real or fake, quick judgments with no supporting facts, etc.
