I cleaned one of those tilapia the last time I went hunting, my god they have a set of guts in them. It wasn't all that great but all I had to cook it at the time was a fire, I didn't bring any oil or seasoning for fish. |

Some jackass introduced northern pike up here. destroyed the trout, grayling, char, and well just about everything. State said open season on them with bonus points for snagging.

Asian carp in my area is probably the most talked about, also white perch on Lake Erie to my understanding they are not native.

The only way they taste good, and I mean the only way is when you catch em, grind em up, fertilize your garden with said grinded up fish goo, and eat the vegetables that grow out of that highly fertilized dirt. |

Sorry, I didn't notice this was a fish thread. But I did read recently that goldfish had taken over a lake near here. You would think they would get eaten or die quickly. I guess fish are pretty tough.
Seeing that most people somehow Kill their pet fish in the first few weeks of buying it. |

They get pretty big if there's enough food and room to grow. I've seen a couple softball sized goldfish swimming pool sized man-made ponds. Freaky, bug eyed softballs... |

Only real invasive species in our waters is the Asian Carp. They are getting more and more populated.

In the Potomac, it's snakeheads and blue catfish. I picked up some topwater frogs for snakeheads, but haven't had the chance to go after them, yet. Never got into catfish fishing - fish are too damn ugly

Broward Co, Loxahatchee to be precise:
I pulled in several large oscars about six months ago fishing in a canal. We were out in the Glades and witnessed a boat docking with 3-4 very large coolers filled with a couple hundred Oscars as well. I've pulled in a lot of Peacock bass, Midas, and snakeheads. Up here we've just got problems with carp. And everyone's worried about the spread of Zebra mussels and the jumping carp getting into the Great Lakes. |

There are so many you can't fish the rivers or confluence of the Mississippi/MO any longer. Has gotten so bad we've basically lost our river duck hunting. Just no vegetation left in the rivers to hold them. |

Round gobies. Make perch fishing a lot more difficult. I catch two for every perch on the st Clair river in Michigan. I killed twelve of them last month alone.

Cheat grass increases wildfire hazard.

Zebra muscles and white perch. The white perch were accidentally included with white bass when the department of wildlife and parks stocked a local reservoir. They have spread to a few other lakes since then. It's now illegal here to have live fish when leaving an ANS designated lake. They have a tournament for them on at least one reservoir with the rule that you can't throw any back. I think the biggest problem with them is they get 10"+ and put up enough fight to interest anglers so some idiots like the idea of having them in their local fishing hole.

Snakeheads you say?

We recently got pigeons.
some goofy fast growing weed, locals call it indian paintbrush, cover the lawn in a month. . Cruise ships started arriving, so we get temporary human waves, they usually gone by dinnertime though. |

My understanding is that snakeheads are really fun to reel in and the filets are tasty.
Any truth to this? |

We have a smallmouth bass, white bass, and yellow perch problem out here but most people don't complain because they're easy to catch and are good to eat or use as bait fish. |
