i use to. Now i will be geting like 5 baby tiger musky. cant wait going to be so happy!!

 

[manlyfish]

i kept bullheads and bluegills

 

[Ppuzas]

where would one acquire baby tiger muskies??? I'd love to get em small, grow em a little bit in my 125 and release them locally. Cook county (illinois) forest preserves suck at stocking their lakes. Ive even considered breeding bluegill just because most of the lakes and sloughs around here are empty and over fished.

Not a good idea to release fish that were kept and raised in your tanks.

Not a good idea to release fish that were kept and raised in your tanks.

Not to mention, illegal in most states to release natives without a gov't permit.

I still have my Gar, Green Sunfish, and a Bullhead.
I do keep a lot of wild-caught exotics,they are not natives, but are common here:
Jaguars, Midas, Firemouth, a Green Severum, Oscars, Plecos.

I have caught Walking Catfish, Snakeheads, and Pacu as well, but not interested in keeping them.
