illegal to LEGAL

If you're really committed, you may wish to apply to the Fish and Game Commission for a permit rather than attempting to change their regulations and the Fish and Game Code. From my understanding though, the threshold for proving a legitimate purpose for keeping a prohibited species is rather high. Obviously you don't want to be applying for an after-the-fact permit, as that will only alert the game wardens that you may have a prohibited species. In other words, if you're going to apply, make sure you're clean. :)

Yeah, Cali has some whack laws when it comes to what fish we can and can't buy. But they are erring on the side of caution. A few years ago one of my favorite fishing spots, Lake Davis, became over run by Northern Pike, who aren't indigenous to this part of the country. People were raising the fry, then dumping juvy pike into the lake to hopefully catch someday. One problem: they damn near wiped out the entire salmon population in that area. They went so far as to POISON THE ENTIRE GODD*MN LAKE! TWICE! And yet to this day you can still go to Lake Davis, throw a line in the water, and more than likely catch one of those ugly muthaf*ckers. Why? Because some morons keep throwing them in the lake. It's a sad story, but one that bares repeating for fear of our lakes and streams being overrun by non native predatory fish.
