Everyone should go kill all the Large mouth bass in the Potomac then. they aren't native to that ecosystem.
And Just for fun, let's just kill all the walleye and small mouth bass in the Columbia River too. they are not native to that eco system as well.
KILL KILL KILL FUN FUN FUN!
Don't believe everything the USFW tells u. Snakeheads have been around in the FL ecosystem for a while now and they have not decimated anything. In fact Northern Snakeheads (the same ones in the Potomac) were introduced in Japan as a game fish and did very well. Then later the Japanese introduced Large Mouth Bass into Japanese waters. Since then the numbers of Northern Snakeheads have dropped.
The USFW is very one sided. If they don't see something as a beneficial game fish they mark it for termination.
For example in WA, Walleye and Smallmouth Bass are found in the Columbia River but are non native. In fact Small Mouth Bass were illegally introduced. Yet because Small Mouth Bass can be a good game fish they "pardon" it from termination but yet the Northern Pike Minnow that is native to the Columbia River system is makred for termination because they don't see any game fish value in it. They blame them for eating salmon fry. Now you tell me, what do you think the Walleyes and Smallmouth bass eat?
Snakeheads are well know game fish in their native lands. The USFW doesn't want see that and lists them as Alien invaders. Sounds like immigration doesn't it?
Don't come back to me when the giant snakeheads that everyone released in the Susquahanna River durning "The Great Snakehead Ban of PA" mutate near 3 Mile Island and kill us all!
Thanks guys, we had a blast down there. According to the fish and wildlife guys down there, you are supposed to take and kill most of the exotics that you catch, but you aren't forced to. You can get into big trouble however if they catch you with a bucket full of midas or some of the other exotics even if you caught them and are using them for bait. We didn't kill anything that we caught....we couldn't bring ourselves to do that, and from what we saw, we wouldn't have made a dent. All of the invasives down there are there to stay.
