HAS THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA LOST IT'S MIND

Amazing, we've been able to over hunt certain species into near extinction and over fish some areas to the point that you have to wait until fish and game stocks if you want to catch anything but we cant eradicate one aggressive fish?
Cant we just fish the hell out of a lake to that end? I know thats what happens to fish in some lakes around my house.

last time that i caught a pike in my home town of sandusky ohio was when i was a kid almost 20 years ago...i fish as often as i can and i havent seen anything in the pike family other than a chain pickeral that i was shocked to catch while fishing for bluegills with my baby sister. i would love to hook into one again...or 4 or 5. they are terrific fighters and beautiful fish. following this post i agree with what was said above, the pike has been an introduced species and has a presence in those waters for over a hundred years. so why all of a sudden the fear for the trout fishery? if they wanted to go that route they should target LMB as well. makes no sense to me.

Only on the left coast, I always thought California was filled with tree huggers and environmental lobbyist's... I can't believe poisoning the entire eco system makes more sense then just letting things play out.. Besides pike fishing is fun....
they also say that water is toxic! JK

That has been done in a few lakes here in Queensland.They poisoned the lot.Apparently it was the only way to erradicate the Talapia and other noxious species knowing they could restock it with natives at a later date.Though I would think it would be a much harder process in a larger natural waterway.amehel0;1129986; said:
This is necessarry. You really should not be bashing California for trying to get rid of an economy-destroying fish. Keep in mind that not all fish keepers are as responsible as we are with our fish.

Please note that this isn't the result of fish keepers, the Pikes are there because the County and in corperation with the State put them there, this isn't some mindless Pike keeper that decided that I'm tired of the five fish I have and knowone else wants them, so I'll take them and dump them in the near by lake or stream and bingo they found each other and started to breed like wabbits. This was done by biologist and the Parks and Fish & Wildlife, a half to a dozen fish in a body of water holding Hundred of Millions of gallons of water and other predatory Fish, does not make for perfect breeding grounds to start establishing another species.
