What species are you talking about?

Canadian politicians.

@@NobleKorhedronany species that’s invasive meaning it was introduced in that ecosystem by humans and therefor is slowly choking the life out of it. Some are less harmful than others and some like lion fish are basically a nuke for native ecosystems. Up to you to inform yourself on which fish are native and which are not and should be removed. Asian carps for example, are also a nuke for fresh water ecosystem and by their name you may figure they don’t belong in Northern America or anywhere around there.

people need to learn the same with flora, and how bad it is to have suburbs full of non native flora, 80% of the native fauna will leave aswell cos they need their native flora. humans come in, destroy kilometres of native bushland, then build houses and the people fill their yards with exotic species... say by to your insect and nectar eating birds, thats like all your song birds, all youll have left is pidgeons lol

Clown feather back?😅😂 Its a clown knifefish bud

@@jordyp1917 Alright big guy. Semantics. The dude's point was still correct.

Snakehead is good eating.

I've been catching HUGE Pacu in the San diego River.

That’s the truth! 🤨

That way they have plausible deniability if they gave you the wrong answer

However, the appeals court in Florida recently last couple days ruled that you can record government officials over the phone without their knowledge.

“This call will be recorded...”- the machine before they connect you. One rule for me, another for thee.

The Supreme Court has ruled that recording public officials doing their duty is a right. Unfortunately, many LEOs don’t believe in the Supreme Court’s decision.

Learn to make fish emulsion fertilizer out of invasives

@@comfortablynumb9342 😅 definitely not a hard process! I used to freeze, then grind them, then add them to my compost heap. Wasn't the most pleasant smelling thing but then again compost never smells very good. My oleander, trumpet Vines, and rose bushes loved it!

@@lakeshiamills1454 the great thing about making fish emulsion fertilizer is that it's done in a sealed container. So it doesn't stink.

dispatch them and dispose of them

let em go, let em grow!

I thought I was the only one who caught it😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He slipped it in

Hey Brad that’s what she said 😈

Speaking of snakeheads, they are absolute killers. They are so aggressive to other aquarium fish that aquarium veterans like you probably avoid them, and only people new to keeping fish buy them. Then they end up tossing them into the local pond because they aren't compatible with the other fish they want to keep, and then they just start dominating all the other species in the pond. I wish people would stop selling them.

Maryland has drained ponds to eradicate Snakeheads. They are nasty bastards.

It does actually make a difference to not release them back a destroy them because yeah if you look at it from just your perspective doesn’t do much but if every of the hundreds or thousands of people recreationally fishing do it then you will make a dent in their populations and it will help out native fish even if it’s a little bit it’s much better than nothing. Idk about fresh water but in the case of lion fish even if you won’t eradicate them to kill them off will control the population and in addition to teaching native predators like Goliath groupers to eat them will help balance that ecosystem. Lion fish are particularly destructive because they are voracious and reproduce like rabbits which is really really destructive. In their local ecosystem predators keep them in check so the more you feed them to predators the more they will associate it as a prey. Goliath are starting to eat them and sharks too, now in the case of sharks specially tous should be careful how you do it, don’t just feed them but let them steal it because that’s what sharks do. They won’t associate humans with food and bite people all of a sudden they will just keep doing what they’ve been doing which is steal an easy meal from another predator. Just in the case of sharks don’t be a dumb dumb they ain’t puppies.

In typical government fashion, the actual statute (379.231) can be read several ways. The test reads: "It is unlawful to import for sale or use, or to release within this state, any species of the animal kingdom not native to Florida". Nothing about ‘from captivity or into another body of water’. A strict reading would be ""It is unlawful to release within this state ...".

You're crazy, it's a fishing paradise in South Florida because of the large variety of fish to catch....bass are SO boring.

@@swkelley I agree that bass are boring. The awesome thing about Florida, especially south Florida, is the great saltwater fish. I grew up in Sarasota and rarely bothered with freshwater because I could catch snook and stuff that are not boring.

Like most fish they grow bigger in a bigger body of water. There's no big freshwater rivers in south Florida, just a bunch of small canals.

But we still gotta try and do our part! Don't release them alive!! Please!

@@scottmichael3745 Here in Louisiana it's the Rio Grande Cichlids. Louisiana doesn't allow them to be released when caught, so you find them in banks all the time. We eat them occasionally, but they're not great.

@@danver1971 I got ya. But we gotta at least "try", right? But leaving carcass is illegal here in Florida for obvious reasons. But I do plant them in my garden.

@@scottmichael3745 what obvious reasons? Won't the alligators, turtles, raccoons, etc eat them

@@kenneth9874 They rott, stink, attract verman that we don't necessarily want around. Can't have dead fish laying everywhere. This is common sense.

I fish in northern Maine. Have never been told to yeet them In woods. GW don’t care about small mouth anymore

Um, there are plenty of non-native people who would be happy to keep non-native species.

Not to catch and release. That way you would fish them out of the state

If you kept 50 tialpia or Oscar’s every day it wouldn’t even put a dent in the population. Individual fisherman can’t do anything about the invasive species problem.

YOU ARE DELUSIONAL

@@robgover8341 then what if every fishermen that caught 1 killed them you really think that wouldnt have an affect?

You misunderstood or you're repeating it incorrectly. You can release invasive species back into where you caught them or kill them, legally. At no time can you keep any invasive species, or animals or move them, that is illegal.

Best way is barbless hooks. Pay attention to your line and don't let them swallow the hook. Unfortunately injuries can still occur. Keep the fish in the water. Don't handle it alot with your hands.

Kill all the snakeheads and bow-fins you want. But you can just as easily catch those on artificial baits if you had any skill. How many largemouth bass do you catch that swallowed those shiners and then when you release them they die. I know it's not illegal but a five-year-old kid can use live bait and catch big bass but when you try to release them there's a good chance that they're going to be mortally injured. So learn some skills there's a reason bass tournaments don't allow live bait

You act like you're a great fisherman while you're fishing with live bait which is generally considered cheating to a skilled fisherman but yet you turn around and release all the snakeheads back into the native bass Waters.
