Thats probubly the nastiest catfish there is. Even poisening the ponds dosnt work because they can move from stream to stream...pond to pond.... Illeagle in AZ and i belive in Cali as well.

I don't have a problem with a fish bieng banned thats as potentially destructive and adaptable as this one. I'm a big cat fan for sure but I also understand the reasons for the laws.
