My .02:
^^^^This is a great read. Thanks all.
Back on FBO; I suggested stocking red drum in DL and striped bass in the Tailrace. I believe fisherman like strange shit like salmon in the middle of Northern Prairie; even as they taste like cat food when they come shallow in autumn: They fight great and could produce excellent catfish bait/garden fertilizer.
Why not stock a few true saltwater fish at "ice-out" with a bounty on their heads?!!
IME: Tilapia have a commercial market even as they taste like rotten snatch. I wish I could gut rotten snatch and onions. My life would be easier:
