They're banned because of the large numbers of their spawns, they're aggressiveness, and their potential of causing damage to native species. They're listed as category "D" which is Detrimental to native species and ecosystems.
oooo, i hear they are great to fish for, and also great for eating, i hate to do it, since i would have kill it, i will and not let it go to waste, i would take it to my uncles for them to eat, but i just wanna be able to fish for one, catch it admire it, then sadly kill while wiping the tear away lol
but i see where your coming from, thats why i made the thread, didnt know what damage if any there where causing. and how manyu states now have them

arkansas also. i don't think they will spread as fast or as often as people predicted. as for michigan, we have top freshwater fish predators in our waters such as northern pike, muskie, bass, bowfin, catfish, gar pike and walleye. not to mention all the water fowl, birds of prey, turtles and other predators and pollution. some might live but i highly doubt they will thrive here in main waters. in florida it seems like they only really flourish in the the stagnant waters where other fish cant live do to the low mounts of oxygen in the water.
I live in Toledo too, and I know of a few (unconfirmed of course) people who have caught them. I know the dnr isn't saying anything officially but I heard a few were pulled out of the maumee.
