ever seen what a largemouth bass will do to a mouse swimming across a lake ?---or a pike on a line of baby ducklings swimming on a lake behind thier mom? -- I caught a huge catfish that had a habit of eating baby ducklings long ago.

But that can't be! Fish are so fragile that the slightest amount of silt from a dredger will kill them instantly. I bet the next lie you try to spread is that fish are really cannibals. :laughing7:

Yeah... I'll arm myself with a bigger fishing pole!!!! Some fish will eat anything that don't eat them first! Look as some of the stuff they've found in sharks over the years! Tires, License Plates, etc etc etc.

Some ignoranus brought pike to kalif and put them-breeding pair-into a pristine lake up in the hills east a here. Within a VERY short time every other fish and critters disappeared. The CDFG poisoned sections,then the whole lake and they SURVIVED. Ended up pumping the whole lake out bone dry to kill them :censored: voracious killers of any,all and everything. John

It's a lie don't believe a word! Everyone knows trout only eat three things- yellow legged frogs , mercury, and lead. Don't be led a stray.

Yes Hoser, that was Lake Davis near Portola, Ca. The Fish and Game killed all fishing related business there for about 4 years. Trial and error experiments cloaked in "scientific projects". What a fiasco that was!!

Lake Davis is one of my favorite lakes and there's something I've never understood about that whole fiasco. What is the difference between a lake in California having both pike and trout and a lake in Alaska having both Pike and Trout? Isn't Alaska a haven for both trophy Pike and world class trophy Trout? What's the difference between our Pike and Alaskan Pike (other then most of our Pike are liberals)?I have never received a satisfactory answer.

EZ--different types of fish and different enviroments to help control any explosions in numbers. Just natures natural selection ruined by mans intervention and corruption of the natural way of life-John

trout that have naturally grown up with pike in the water with them know that pike are preditors and to avoid them at all cost * trout that have not grown up with pike about --do not "understand" their a threat --however the pike however do understand trout are food -- huge natural advantage for the pike .
