Sorry to hear that Vamaz....have you by any chance noticed that Trashellunge is irresistible to canids of every size and shape? Not only that, but I'm seriously beginning to believe that the Trashellunge is able to exert some type of mental influence over the canids, encouraging them to assist in the spreading of said Trashellunge spawn over a wide area. Just curious if this phenomenon is localized to my area, or more widespread.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Apparently, that's 100% of the human population. We're not perfect. We tend to accidentally release a few during our younger years, until we get wiser.

In California, we have aggressive educational programs in every county, much more so in the coastal regions. When cities and counties along the coastal don't promote the eradication of the invasive species, they get heavily fined. Bruce, you need to work with the Parks and Recs to push the volunteering efforts in taking down the invasive species, and be aggressive with the spawners. It's an uphill epic battle, but you can do it!

Instantly, that one individual was able to convert itself into many hundreds of smaller, immature fry, which were then able to ride the breeze over into my yard, thereby extending their range, as invasive species are prone to do.

I fear this is only the beginning.

Awesome video and great "River Monster" parody.

There has got to be a special outfit and accessories for hunting these menaces...could be a real moneymaker!



Thanks for the kind words, DD! No rash yet, but I manage to get one somehow every year.
