TJ that is why I asked the question. I hoped other would chime in. I think they are not on the list for allowed stocking in MO, not sure in NE? Heard they have issues with them displacing native species in Wisc. However not really sure up there. I know they help accomplish our goals in the south of growing larger bass. Actually price is $3.25 for 120 lbs (min.) price drops to $2.95/lb for 400 lb orders.
