Ok guys, I’m going to take y’all back a couple of generations to my grandpa’s dry flat land Texas farm where water came from a cistern, the closest creek was so far away they had to haul water in a barrel on a mule drawn sled, miles away during frequent Texas drought conditions.

Remember that population density was sparse more that 80 years ago, and aeration or fisheries biologists had not been invented.

How did the mud cats and “perch” get back in those tanks that would dry up every few years?
You will NEVER convince me that mankind stocked those fish or the fish crawled across those dry cracked parched Texas plains.
