Basstards! Invasive species them there bass. Not a native species and totally a drain on the ecosystem. Eating up native stocks (eggs especially) like trout and salmon here in NB.ca. Big flap on the go between us and Maine right now about reintroducing blocking fish ladders on the St. Croix during the spring gaspereau run. The Maineiac Governor LePage wants to do it because the outfitters on the upper reaches of the water shed in his state say they hurt the bass fishing which is complete bullshit... TWITS! The gaspereau actually do more good for the bass than if they weren't there and they provide a great fishery in the inland waters and in the gulf. I have documentation but this is a fishing thread so it's time for fishing stories and... rant over.
