    Yeah,they can't stop them now,I seen an episode a few months ago where they had to kill a whole lake near baltimore,but has since shown up in other areas due to feeder creeks and streams.Think of all the ones thats not counted for.wow.And on Hooked just last night they said alot are smuggled from korea,they actually intecepted a jetliner shipping them in.They were live,but claimed they were for food use.Makes you wonder how many ends up in aquariums and then what happens when they get too big for the tank.

    It's rough seeing volitans at the end of a spear as well when I think of my big guy as a pet more than a fish..... but they gotta go it.

    Mostly it is species that are native to the area, you see around here. I have thought about doing it before someone told me it would be a mistake. You see the animal at the beach all the time so how could it be bad? Its the parasites and diseases you can't see that cause problems and people don't realize they are there. Out of sight out of mind.
