More fish to catch. I don't see the problem here.

Maybe once you have reached that milestone in your life when you have stopped wetting the bed this will make more sense... Just sayin. Haha

I like the fishes because there so delicious. Gone goldfishing. I could eat them every day and my ma says that's okay. Gone goldfishing

And flushing fish down the toilet will not end in a “Finding Nemo” moment.
“If you flush, they go to a wastewater treatment plant,” Moen said. “There are kinder ways to euthanize the fish.”

Classic!

They live through the winter in them MN lakes, guess I never really thought about it?

seems a good project in the works

Would be interesting to cross breed those bubbly eyed goldfish with large mouth buffalo fish.... Imagine 30+lb bubbly eyed goldfish swimming around in lakes!

Do goldfish make good table fair? A guy could get some decent fillets off a couple 13 inch gold fish.

The actual fish not the crackers

Put a sucker harness on them and hang them under a tip up for monster pike.

This man is a thinker.

Pike fear them, girl fish love em.
The life of a gold fish in MN waters is good, damn good in fact.

I'm confused. Does the treatment plant kill them or release them into the wild? I also love the astute observation provided by the caption.

One could make some decent beer money with such a capture. When I was 13 or so, I made the paper for a six pounder I was able to easily scoop out of the river by hand. There was a petshop about 300yds away. It was a big deal for a few weeks.
