What currently exists in any body of water is a conglomeration of non native fish species that people like to catch. In terms of contained a species profile consistent with undisturbed pre-man/pre-'management" practices, absolutely. Things change, we change them even more so, and thats that. Water quality, at this point is >>>>> the additional of yet another non-native. Beastly Backlash 1 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 For those that this thread has confused, largemouth bass most certainly are native to north america. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 But what largemouth aren't are "bass". They are sunfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are gonna eat your dog!! People don't realize this, but channel catfish also have the ability to shimmy across dry land. They can also survive outside of water significantly longer then most other fish. When I fish the river in certain locations I will dig out a pit in the bank so I can put my baitfish in and keep them live. Well, when ever I put channel cats in the water pit they will swim around the edges inspecting every corner. They will wait until you turn you back and they think you are not watching, crawl out of the lowest edge, and crawl towards the main body of water over dry ground.

Just not any of the North East rivers that drain into the Atlantic. A fish that is not native to a body of water might as well be from a different planet.

You can say that again. Wish we had them. Why does North Amercia have mostly lame game fish compared to all other countries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they lakes or small reservoirs made from damming up creeks and streams? A reservoir is man made, but it is made by using a naturally occurring body of water.

A reservoir is man made, but it is made by using a naturally occurring body of water. Its a bit of all of the above. Damned up streams or rivers, flooded valleys, and even brand new construction. There are plenty of natural waterbodies in NJ and the surrounding states into which pike, walleye, LMB, SMB, rainbow trout, musky, channels, and a good deal of other non-natives have been released. The species profile bears no semblance to the original native ecosystems. Beastly Backlash 1 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
