[QUOTE="ccm, post: 348599, member: 13447"] I've been trying to catch one for quite some time now. In my opinion there is no such thing as trash fish and all fish have some sporting quality whether invasive or native. Some invasive species are great to eat while others fulfill a specific niche or role into the environment because of other invasive species ( ex. Tilapia & Hydrilla ) and some need to be eliminated because they pose a danger to humans and the ecosystem ( silver & Asian carp ). In my opinion if the fish is native and your not going to eat the fish/use it for bait there is no sense in killing it. Dogfish/Grinnell/Bowfin/Cypress Trout make great catfish bait especially for big blues ( I read this in an In Fisherman magazine where tank studies were done and big blues munched these first) I have not tried it yet as I have not caught one to see if this little experiment rings true.
