We catch them occasionally on the Conn. cat fishing.  When
we were kids, we took one and kept it as a pet in a stream for
a whole summer.  I hate to even think about how many state
and federal laws we broke  ::)

Haha sounds like a cool experience, I have thought of keeping a bass and letting it grow huge and then releasing it
I like fishing. No point trying to argue.

Not likely.  Those EPO are hard to get out there even when the asians are gill netting river herring.

Always cool to see them around... We have a pretty good body of them here in the CT river. A few years back, I stumbled onto a wintering hole for them... This video, I counted well over 20 of them stacked up nose to tail  :o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToG62rtS1no

 they are in there. I've seen one leaping out of the water, swimming next to shore, and even caught accidentally by shad fishermen in the river. It is common to see them breaking the water at the mouth of the river.
