While we're add it let's add blue marlin and tarpon to the winni species list. How cool would that be? I can see it now. Middle of May, winni derby weekend, 150 boats trolling the north side of Rattlesnake. A leaping hooked marlin tangles up 15 boats and takes two aluminums down with him before shredding all the lines. Or how about a peacefull afternoon of bluegill fishing with your two year old, interrupted by a 75 pound tarpon inhaling your pumpkinseed while reeling it in. Now tha's excitement. Rock Bass are bad news. Just look at Lake Sunapee. If you catch a rock bass. Kill it. Feed the birds. Not that it will do much to deter an invading species like that, but they should be considered a parasite.

Oh yeah, before you bring stripers to winni, just keep in mind, thay have a reputation for attacking swimmers, waterskiiers and jetskiiers. Why Chief Brody and Hooper cut one open last year and pulled out a '03 seadoo with the rider still attached (dead of course) along with a "No Wake" bouy.
