If I had not participated in the other 500 + threads on this same topic....I might voice and opinion. Lucky for me...
I did consider my words. Very carefully, as a matter of fact. I have a kid, a dog and two cats. If you take my obviously facetious discourse of exasperation and try to make me feel bad, you will fail. Honestly, I do not care. Had you chosen your words a little more carefully, and made them truthful, you might not have written something on the internet that caused you to be embarrassed.
As for the DNR representative that told you this patently false information; yes, he or she is an idiot. I challenge you to provide citeable proof of your claim. I rest easy berating your friend because I know there is no proof to be found. I personally believe my theory that asian carp are breeding with snakeheads to spawn a super invasive hybrid in order to get into the Great Lakes, and I can quote saying that I heard it from someone, too. I can even provide a wikipedia article! Just give me 15 minutes! We can then argue our theories' verisimilitude ad nauseum. If you provide me citeable proof that the pbass and lmb are breeding, I'll publicly admit I'm wrong and apologize for hurting your feelings. But that's not gonna happen. yhbt.
edit: after further deliberation, it is clear to me that the concept of sarcasm escapes you.
Look what happened in europe. N. Amer crayfish were brought over to europe for aquaculturing, a dormant virus that the N. Amer species was immune to was released into european waterways and nearly destroyed all european species within a few years. Yes, there can be serious repurcussions in releasing non-native species into native waters.
I do believe I have heard of your super hybrid, it was part of an old Soviet plot to destroy the States' waterways.
Of course, nature will "take its course" the only other option would be nature ceasing to exist lol always a poor arguement made out of not being able to predict what nature will actually be doing

another fact of not researching what should be researched. If it isnt seen, it isnt known about and never thought about. mircobiology doesnt play a large enough role in ecology and really should be researched more
I know Europe has issues with a non-native minnow "Topmouth Gudgeon or Clicker Barb" that carried a deadly virus can kill the native minnow species....not mentioned that the topmouth gudgeon can breed twice in a year unlike other native minnows.
People once thought other hybrids were impossible also. Not saying that all hybrids are possible, but I saying just because you have not seen it or it has not happened yet does not mean it is impossible. Word to the wise even when you think before you typed or talked does not mean you thought enough. If somebody says you hurt their feelings common courtesy is to apologize not to act superior and show off your intellect. I did however find your first post to be effing hilarious, but I have a tendency to like off the wall and offensive humor.
No he is right: Peacock bass cannot hybridizing with largemouth bass as it is 100% impossible. However Florida/Hawaii peacocks are already hybrids anyways with heavy ocellaris/monoculus influenced.
