This thread is funny. Anyway, I 100% support what you're doing, Scuba. You're killing off a few invasive species that would do more harm than good being in that body of water. I don't see why people are so against it.. Sure it would be great to rehome those plecos, but lets be realistic, not many people are going to want a 2ft long common pleco. I remember when I was younger.. My dad used to go cast netting in this river by our apartment.. He would try to catch Texas cichlids but all he pulled up were these massive plecos. I would see him pull out his machete and cut off each and every one of their heads. A few months earlier, with 1 cast, you could catch 10-15 Texas cichlids. Plecos, believe it or not, do cause a lot of damage. Luckily, over the years we've had really cold winters so it wiped our some of the plecos.. Came back a few weeks ago to fish there during prime Texas cichlid spawning.. Didn't hook a single one, but I still saw a couple plecos swimming along the banks sucking on rotting logs. I'ma try to go back there and try my hand at casting.. Hoping to catch a few plecos.. Even though my efforts my be futile, it should provide some relief to the native fish.
Now that I'm done with that, I'm only 18. We can go to prom together ;D LOL
