Never thought of that. Sometimes I'm a dummy!
Although I doubt I could introduce anything new (pathogen wise) to a lower
Cuyahoga
trib-most of these streams have already been to hell and back. Other fish, I'd
worry about
readjusting to a natural envirnment, but this is a green sunfish.
Any better ideas on what to do the the little fella this spring? Anything
involving euthanizing
him is an absolute no go, the wife would smack me senseless if I did that to her
"little buddy"!
