In what lake did you catch that green sunfish? I have a few that I need to let go.

Please don't let them go....It's not only against the law but green sunfish are not native to California.

Releasing fish from aquaria is against the law, even native species. This can bring non-native disease to local waterways. Please find a good home for them or euthanize them, these are the only legal and ethical options.

ok I won't let them go. I didn't know it was against the law.

Sandtiger put a lot of work in this topic and well worth a visit for people getting started in this hobby. Much of the starting rules are covered with the standard fishing regulations.
