Tony, I agree. There might be a relatively earth shattering announcement later on this year in regards to a fish species, and what can be done with them. That's all I'm saying for now, but my last trip to Arkansas was an eye opener.

If you have ever seen a commercial where the top of peoples heads blew off in a cloud of purple chalk dust, that's what I felt like when I heard what I heard.

That's only 50% of what will be said. The other half is that I am working on doing something like Bruce did with his Condello Bluegills, but this time with cold tolerant RES. I know, I know, one year does not make an absolute, but the feed trained RES that survived last winter in my pond in a cage that was only 3.5' beneath the ice at the deepest point are reproducing this year, and the YOY will be caged, feed trained and overwintered in the same cage and water depth. grin
