>>1038804Right now i have the opposite problem.
My local pond is so full of stockie panfish that everything is 5" long and nobody fishes for them. All they do is pull out the bass and nothing else.
It appears my choices are either:
>start keeping 5-10 gills per day every single dayOr
>put a bowfin or two into the lake at night when nobody's lookingActually, I would love to do that second option. Not just because bowfin are natural predators for the small fish, but also because they fight like demons and it would be funny to watch the local bassholes try to land a fish that actually fights back.
Only problem is the idiots will probably think they're snakeheads and kill them. And that would make me sad.
