I'm sure it's not a popular opinion based on most of the reactions here, but I do this kind of research and anglers are the #1 reason most of our sportfish populations in the southeast are so messed up. Alabama Bass have been moved into Chattahoochee and Savannah almost causing native shoal bass and redeye bass to go extinct from hybridization. Same thing with introduced smallmouth bass into the Savannah River. The facts and science do not change based on opinions, but I see where folks could be outraged at this. Just do a little reading on non-native fish introductions into native fisheries before burning the capital building down.
