im just now moving here and learning all this has been interesting! Never been to a pay lake but i am glad im aware of the bad ones. there is not much being posted on these issues. Thank you for your service to the community, it is invaluable.
Fish and Wildlife needs to post wich pay Lakes that got busted if we get caught doing anything they post are name's in the newspaper so why are they any different
So first off… I’ve been fishing paylakes for a few years, have yet to catch one that was skinny, or sick, or even beat up at all. I’ve caught HUNDREDS of them and they look just the same as they do out of the river lol. So to guys hating on paylakes and paylakers alike. Kick rocks!!! The fish get plenty of food
There are a handful of lakes that get farmed raised fish and feed them, they are the few respectable owners. However, it's still like fishing in a bathtub. It's great for kids, disabled and the elderly.
@@bradreynoldsbtcatfishingad7656 look I’m not trying to argue with river guys. It’s about like the hatfield and McCoy story. I’m just saying they are not bad people, niether are the fish starving… and tell me why should it just be kids and elderly??? What is the difference??
Most paylakes in Kentucky are farm raised fish (channels cats) but there is river fish that do get stocked of both at certain places and most of the big fish come from out of state where they're considered a invasive species like maryland and other places out west
Most big fish are from the Ohio river here in Kentucky, and yes, these fish get taken to other states as well raping our river of quality fish. Also, farmed raised catfish cost more when stocking, however they do buy some from farms to have the paperwork to show law enforcement when needed. Most restaurants don't even buy farmed raised catfish in most cases because of the cost, they get them from the river.
@@bradreynoldsbtcatfishingad7656that’s 100% not true 😂 and river fish are more expensive to buy because all the fishermen have to buy there license and everything to catch the fish to make a living.
Paylakes catch the fish, starve the fish, and do everything but put it on the hook for ya. Easiest way to catch a fish and no honor or respect given by real fishermen

I'm sure that is public records. But yes, should have been listed in their story
Every paylake I've ever been to has had an abundance of bluegill for the cats to eat.
I don't want to fish any lake that feeds the fish.
All the fentynal out there and paylakes are what you pick on? 😅😅😅😅😅😅
@@naturelover_75 So, you seem to be the kind of person who can only do one thing at a time. Be careful walking while chewing gum there jr.

Only thing I seen on your video and comments is a bunch of false information.😂
Is there a list of ones being cited?
Kentucky Fish and Wildlife now have the story on their site. However, it doesn't list the lakes. I'm sure, most of them are trophy lakes
Great news.
Catfish are an invasive species and can take over water ways . and they do in some states ...
Wish this was taken more seriously

I really can't stand paylakes.

@@SHAWNRichie-o2b I can catch big fish out of the river. matter of fact a paylake owner offered to buy my fish.
@@SHAWNRichie-o2b I stated that, and the elderly and disabled...... If they are catching farm raised fish
@user-ut1ec9rx1x These is not heat there and no fishermen. Haven't been to one in over 50 years
@qball2001 They should be more highly regulated. Paylakes are for kids, the elderly & for those with disabilities
