| I just saw on ESPN this morning that as of this June, Japan is considering largemouth bass an invasive species and will be changing regulations to reduce populations. Such as if you catch it, you have to keep it. Kind of a shcok to me, but i guess the bass asre messing with other desireable fish populations over there.
Just got me thinking about how some attitudes towards muskie are similar. Different story though. I wonder if Bass could be considered an invasive species over here. heh heh heh. |

Why should we be concerned about such a fine muskie food source? One of the nicest muskies I've had on took, and kept, a 20" largemouth from me. |

This last fall my son and I seen a 50" plus muskie carrying around a bass that had to be at least five pounds, what a sight. |

| Ok Steve, you got me on my great spelling/typo. Mr funny pants!!! Now i am all for bass as a forage base. According to a buddy of mine who lived there for 5 years, bass were about as popular as they are here. He musta been sorely mistaken. Imagine that happening here. |

Location: Chicago, Beverly | Bass are very popular with some fisherman in Japan, thus why recently there have been several Japanese fisherman doing well in the B.A.S.S. ranks. However, a invasive is a invasive regardless of what kind of fish it is or how popular it may be with certain fisherman. South Africa has had Smallmouth considered a invasive for several years now. |
