Great white shark   That'll be a nice surprise for the people who keep throwing sticks in the lake for their dogs with no regard at all for the anglers on there.

I have changed my mind - can we introduce these please? Don't know what they're like to catch, but it sounds as if they could be very funny to watch...

I watched a program on National Geographic Channel, I think it was Monster Fish with Zeb Hogan and it was hilarious watching them flying through the air, ending up in boats, crashing into people. Well if you are going to have a invasive species it might as well be a fun one :D

In a similar vein someone suggested flying fish earlier in this thread. Might be a little safer than having the banzai carp hitting you in the face. :D

The EA are working hard to keep silver and bighead carp out of the country (OK, so they're doing nothing except sending concerned internal e-mails and adding the species to the banned list) because they arn't just a danger to boats. They are filter feeders and consume huge amounts of phyto and zooplankton which undermines the entire food chain.

Having these things in the country would be a disaster.

 

I know this goes against the spirit of the thread but they're present in Europe and it only takes one muppett to introduce them.

Species caught in 2020: Barbel. European Eel. Bleak. Perch. Pike.

Species caught in 2019: Pike. Bream. Tench. Chub. Common Carp. European Eel. Barbel. Bleak. Dace.

Species caught in 2018: Perch. Bream. Rainbow Trout. Brown Trout. Chub. Roach. Carp. European Eel.

Species caught in 2017: Siamese carp. Striped catfish. Rohu. Mekong catfish. Amazon red tail catfish. Arapaima. Black Minnow Shark. Perch. Chub. Brown Trout. Pike. Bream. Roach. Rudd. Bleak. Common Carp.

Species caught in 2016: Siamese carp. Jullien's golden carp. Striped catfish. Mekong catfish. Amazon red tail catfish. Arapaima. Alligator gar. Rohu. Black Minnow Shark. Roach, Bream, Perch, Ballan Wrasse. Rudd. Common Carp. Pike. Zander. Chub. Bleak.

Species caught in 2015: Brown Trout. Roach. Bream. Terrapin. Eel. Barbel. Pike. Chub.

No seriousness in this thread, but out of all the fish in the world, regardless of saltwater or freshwater, and climate etc...

Which fish would you most like to introduce to you local lake/river?

Bonefish, without doubt the best pound for pound fighting fish.

We don't need them, we have mullet.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle
