Big problem is that all gamefish have to be caught on hook and line. Then there's size slot that protects the fish from harvesting. Then there's Aquatic Invasive Species and VHS regulations in your own state. Heck you cannot use the lake/river water to transporting fish from a lake to home.I could be wrong but I'm pretty certain it is legal in Wisconsin to collect natives and keep them in tanks. This is just added to your daily bag limit of the certain species of fish.
You said you don't care if the fish fight because you will just release them and this is what we are saying is wrong.
Find out for sure if collecting is legal, understand the temperament of the fish you want and set up a suitable living place for them.
I am also curious to what you think adequate filtration is for a 180. Your going to need a lot if you want to heavily stock the tank.

Very valid points to consider. VHS is terrible.Big problem is that all gamefish have to be caught on hook and line. Then there's size slot that protects the fish from harvesting.

Yes even apply to baitfish and sportfish. You just cannot use the lake water to transporting the live fish. That is how the invasive aquatic species spreading via livewells, bait buckets etc..Interesting and good thing that water transporting rule does not apply to minnows...or does it?
Yes it does. All fish leaving water bodies must be "dead". However, a "dead" fish is considered to be a fish out of water.Interesting and good thing that water transporting rule does not apply to minnows...or does it?
Were can you get natives online?[/QUO
