Kudos to mr Holland for using his developing platform to recently call out the State's complete mismanagement and botching of sebago,  I did not expect that as someone who generally stays pretty non political

On the other hand, in one of his videos he praises Canada for stocking Musky in the river so they are now in Maine. Overall he does a good job, but I don't agree with everything he's selling.

Touche Glenn, I haven't seen all his stuff.

just to clarify. musky werent stocked into Maine by Canada. they were stocked in Lac Frontier in Quebec and a dam broke at the end of the lake spilling into a trib. that dumped into the St. John river. from there they spread to where they are now.

My bad Steve. I was going by what was said in his video. I trust that you know the real story.

The video I am talking about is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg6hcjs0vqgFast forward to 39:40 minutes in.

This is the story I read. And what I've read from my research

Maine IFW was against the stocking of muskies in Lac Frontier because of the possibility of them getting over the dam into the St John drainage. Joe Holland regularly praises the introduction of invasive species and says the fishery biologists are wrong for encouraging anglers to kill invasives.

Interesting and very disappointing.

The kill em all mentality is ignorant and naive. I don’t condone guys being bucket biologists at all but to think you’re going to eradicate an invasive species by keeping every fish u catch is ludicrous.

[gamefisher]

He obviously has a following, my point is he has an opportunity and an obligation to use it in a factual and responsible manner.  Spreading misinformation is worse than not spreading any at all.   If he wants to use his channel to tackle political issues,  he better be prepared for differing viewpoints.

You won't eradicate a species but you can keep the population from exploding and significantly harming existing fisheries.

Not in big bodies of water like sabattus with no trout to speak of. Makes no sense to stack pike on the ice.

Warm water fish lay a lot more eggs than our cold-water fish. so in a lot of these small lakes and ponds perch etc. feed on bait fish etc. when food supply gets scarce fish grow much smaller so with warm water fish feed the small one to the eagles and other Prey birds and animals, this will help fish left in lakes size increase ..

Did you hear me Joe??

It’s “Tatsu” not Gat su. The tatsu is flouro so idk what your point is.

And what does flouro have to do with Joe Holland? You should be put in ice shanty timeout for making everyone’s head hurt.

[Fish Wayniac]

Ahh the banter LOL!

[nbourque]

Ahh the banter LOL!

Just like the the good ol days right? Haha

[woodchip]

I thought that SEA GAR gat su was not Floro

[Linedogg104]

You 2 are like father and son or an old married couple lol

[woodchip]

Is Seaguar Tatsu worth the money?
This Seaguar Tatsu line is definitely worth the money! Although, it's understandable that this line is pretty pricey for just one.. Comments: For years, I have relied on Tatsu flourcarbon for all my braid to flouro leaders while smallmouth bass fishing in the worst line fraying structures on the Great Lakes!

Ceegwar line and garmakasu hooks are the best and that's a fact!

Seaguar tatsu is a high end flouro leader material. What did u think it was?

[icetwandrer]

I wish he'd work the state a little harder with his words , with the following he has he could probably get through the thick skulls of our ifw and maybe something would change for the better ,it sure can't get much worse I guess it is easier to just increase our license fees and decrease our fishing opportunities

I hear there is a traffic jam on the Golden Road this morning while they install the light into that little splake pond for all the internet ambulance  chasers!

[woodchip]

All those small ponds up in that area , Frost Pond near by had a record caught out of it last year.
