>>683412I was reading about a fishing competition somewhere in SW Florida where they specifically target invaisive species. Lots of those sailfin cats (plecos), oscars, mayan cichlids, and snakeheads which aren't as big of a problem there as they are in SE Florida.
I think they use a spear for the plecos. They always chill in shallow water and would be so easy to hit. I tried snagging them before, but it's hard. One nearby pond is infested with them. Pic related.
We also have peacock bass, which are technically invaisive but the population is actually encouraged to grow because they are great for sportfishing and basically live alongside with largemouth.
