Yep that's why I posted it. I assumed since the bait minnows originated on a farm in Arkansas and they were not "wild seined" they would be all fatheads. Wrong!

If anyone wonders where the green sunfish came from in their pond, and they did not plant them, this is one way they could have been introduced.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
