damn good money if you have the time

Geez, I saw the title and thought you were offering them for sale. I read the info at the link. What is to keep the unscrupulous from obtaining sankehead from shady sources then claiming to have caught them for the bounty?

[Gene D]

Glad to see it. No way the other fish can compete with them.

This was the first thought that came to my mind too. I imainge there is some sort of interrogation process before you get the gift card.

[sunkenmetal]

They probably want to know where you caught it, and all that...

[mnemenoi]

I fear they are there to stay, with everything they have done and to still be catching 7 at that size!!! It is only a matter of time before we ourselves will be fishing these out of our own waterways. Glad to see them trying to intervene, but fear its far to late

Getting them out of the hands of "shady sources" and turning them in is not unscrupulous. It is almost as valuable as pulling them directly from the waterways, and thus, equally worth the bounty.

I think that's a good way of looking at it

Great comments here.

I'm all for the eradication of envasive species.

These guys are really destructive.

+1 not for food sources either..

[danielp]

Leaving them to survive in their natural element is fine with me.

Introducing them to systems outside their realm and seeing them destroy the ecological balance of said system that has been stable for decades or centuries is where i have a problem with it.
