    I'm a Florida fisherman too. I would never tell you that you couldn't release a snakehead back into the wild. However, if you do catch one, you probably should destroy it. Along with Pacu, Clown featherbacks, Asian carp or piranha. There really are a bunch of invasive species in our waterways.

The last time i fished lake jackson i donated over a dozen snakeheads to a local restaurant. My bro in law will mostly use any invasives he catches as fertilizer for his raised garden beds. He chops them up and either puts them directly into the beds, or adds them to his compost piles for future use.

    or spread. Don’t return it to the water."

    Hey Grant, so i actually did a ride along with an FWC officer a while back when i was working towards a career with them. Essentially you are correct, it is illegal to release any animal into the wild that was previously kept in captivity, however, when talking about invasive fish specifically, in the state of Florida, you CAN release any catch including invasive species into the SAME BODY of wster they were caught in. It is definitely frowned upon, as the FWC prefers that they are destroyed when caught (kept for food, used as fertilizer, or otherwise dispatched appropriately). The officer i did my ride along with said that you shouldnt be ticketed for releasing them back tk where they were caught but you would most definitely get funny looks 😅. Also, you can not leave with any invasive species alive if you deecide to keep them. They must be dispatched if being kept.
    Ethicalky i really believe its up to you whether you release them or not, although personally, ny preference is to destroy any invasives i catch. Living in tampa i fished a few public parks and lakes that bad a tremendous amount of common plecos, oscars, myans, and tilapia, i always dispatched them humanely and if i didnt eat them i used them as ferterlizer or fed them to my pets.

It doesn't apply to government officals opperating in their legal capacity and this has been upheld by numerous court decisions (Turner vs Driver- 5th circuit)(Smith vs City of Cumming-11th circuit), among others, have all agreed that civilians have a First Amendment right to record the police because "The First Amendment Protects the right to gather information about what public officals do on public property".

    Yea I would say it's better stated that it's illegal to relocate invasive species. Invasive is a subjective topic. Some of these species are in bodies of water with little consequence to that ecosystem, then some absolutely destroy the ecosystems they are part of. I throw them back idgaf it's impractical to dispatch and get rid of them without spoiling everything around you. I think the most effective way to get rid of them is to start developing a market for them, every delicacy we enjoy started as an acquired taste. Humans have a tendency to deplete populations of species we enjoy.

    I guess FWC defines "Releasing" as having the fish in your possession, like in a live well, etc, then letting it go somewhere where it doesn't belong. When you "catch and release" it really means "catch and then deciding not to keep it" - so release here has a slightly different meaning. Very confusing, but I think I get it.

We have a few lakes with invasive Northern Pike. I love catching them and they're a lot of fun, but it ruins it for trout here, which are native. There's probably millions of Northern Pike, but I always kill them and most times cook them, if I catch them. If more people are like you where 'It doesn't make a difference if I do it or not,' then more people are not going to do the right thing.

    The invasive slam is an unfortunate possibility in Florida. It's sad that so many uninvited critters live there but as long as they do you should definitely enjoy catching them. As a Florida native it might be hard for me to release those fish. But I doubt we can eliminate them. Thanks for checking out the actual laws on the subject.

      You're crazy, it's a fishing paradise in South Florida because of the large variety of fish to catch....bass are SO boring.

      @@swkelley I agree that bass are boring. The awesome thing about Florida, especially south Florida, is the great saltwater fish. I grew up in Sarasota and rarely bothered with freshwater because I could catch snook and stuff that are not boring.

    Learn your fish species too. I've seen native bowfin left on shore deal presumably because people think it is snakehead. They are a rare catch because the population is limited in the number of lakes.

    It was very clear to me when Brant called FWC, but after reading 250 comments I'm still confused. I always release fish unless I am planning on fish tacos, fillets, fish bites for the little ones., or a fish stew that night. I just want to do the right thing, if I need to dispatch the fish I will. But if I am not going to eat it should I throw it back right where I caught it? I want to protect my fisheries..what is the right move?

  • @justinhand4518
    @justinhand4518 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've found this in several state regulations. It is illegal to release fish from your tank, pond, wherever to a body of water it did not come from naturally. But, and here is the stupid part, if you catch an invasive fish, you can return it to the body of water it came from. It is preferred you don't, but not illegal. Disposal is preferred whether eating it or just tossing it in the garbage.

    In South Australia (state), it is illegal to throw Carp back into the same body of water. They must be dispatched and can be left on the bank for birds. We still have tons of Carp though. I agree with this regulation as they eat the natives.

    It should be in your local laws where you buy your fishing license, or on the DNR website. I've heard all kind of people making up laws like not being able to use certain scents etc. As long as you're following the written laws, there should be no problem.
