i love em bc i actually catch them but i hate them bc i catch them my local pond is stocked with other fish but i seem to only catch the blue gill and pumpkin seeds
Only if they are super hungry, or they are accustomed to being hand fed all sorts of unusual stuff by humans. I don't think a wild sunny/bluegill that's not regularly fed by people will eat an empty hook. They are actually intelligent, and they learn things VERY quickly. Same with largemouth bass.
A good video series idea is “best sport fish” or something similar. I have been a fisherman almost my entire life and i know from personal experience and from friends/family a list of 50-100 fish that could work.

Butterfly peacock bass are most definitely not invasive. Please do not kill them. They were introduced into florida waterways to kill and eat all these other fish which are actually invasive
just a couple from Australia. 1. Redfin Perch/European Perch (feed on all the small native fish species and there numbers have exploded) 2.

Funfact. The zander is a native spieces in the netherlands, where i live. And when u said the zander is a mix from the pike and that other fish is actually hilarious because in our country that’s the name for the zander. We call it a ‘snoekbaars’. Pike translates to ‘snoek’ And perch translates to ‘baars’
I had two pumpkin seed sunfish in my aquarium when I was in school,I found them to make great pets,these lasted for several years too,sad to say but they can quickly over populate an area in a hurry
Very interesting series! I think you should look into the lamprey, the so called vampire fish. It is a major problem in the Great Lakes of North America.
I have a video recommendation! I'm a newer subscriber and recently this channel has interested me in getting into the hobby of keeping fish (I'm a long time enjoyer of fish in general, but I've never kept one) and I want to start small, I think it would be interesting to see what your picks for a smaller aquarium would be!
I have had some zander on the hook and they don't bring so much of a fight lol. So they are not really a blessing. (If you are talking about a blessing when it comes to fishing) But they do taste good!
Zander is a huge game fish in germany. Its not about the fight they put up but the Initial bite on a spinning rod. If you use a dedicated zander rod wich is usually a quite Stiff extra fast rod, the bite feels like someone Hits your jig head with a baseball bat. Friend Used to Tell me a good zander bite is like Heroin and i used to laugh at that comparison until i got myself a nice rod for them and the first zander to my softbait. I dont go for any other fish anymore. Its really really fucking addictive. Also its the best eating fish i can think of. A white champaign sauce and Rice on the side and you have a godly feast.
There was a small Creek in my neighborhood, it had one little area that was about 15 ft long and about 10 ft wide and, 10ft deep. Somehow, it was packed to the gills with about 10 different species, any given day you can go down there and pull up dozens a bluegills, green sunfish, and pumpkin seeds sunfish. I used to catch them and put them in my tank with my cichlids, and they are pretty aggressive they like to fight.. there were also pike, many types of minnows, some other silver type of fish. It was crazy how many fish were in that one little area
You didn't mention that the common carp is considered the world's greatest freshwater sport fish.........other than in the US and Australia. I'm guessing it is all about what people want to fish for will determine how people think about fish.
I'd rather catch pike ,muskie , bass etc, other than fish a dead lake full of nothing but white suckers and fat carp, 40 pounders out here all you in UK, come to Canada, lake Ontario, take em out , eat em , take em home, put em in the garden, but some places , you can't catch nothing but carp. They fight good, but I like predators.
There's reports of Catfish being introduced to Ireland. The 2 species are the Iascsliogan/Shaetfish (Wels) and the Brown Bullhead. They are class fish but it would probably be better if they were not here. These reports have not being confirmed though and I've never seen one and I fish many times a week
Fun fact-The clown knife fish is endagered in indonesia because the clown knife fish or belida(what do indonesian call clown knife fish) is an ingredient to pempek (indonesian food) and the local overfished it for the aquarium trade too
One of the Central European countrys that I get to visit for a month a year is Hungary. Hungary is landlocked but has Lake Ballotin. It's big and deep. The carp is the base of a tomato based soup that is an Hungarian National dish . Just be careful as they usually have big ass bones. The Danube was once a great source of Sturgeon. Overfishing and construction of dams pretty much crashed the population, I have never found a part of the Danube above the delta, where fishing was allowed
Zander is litterly calles pikeperch (snoekbaars) in Dutch. In many places of western europe the welsh catfish went extinct. In the Netherlands the catfish has made a huge comeback now i see them eating rats and carp wich made the water quality much better.
I fish lots of walleye here in the US, and I'm sure many other US fisherman would agree, Walleye are one of the best eating freshwater fish we have, along with Yellow Perch, Crappie (Panfish in general), and trout, so I'm sure Zander taste just as amazing
The sun fish was quite problematic in France around ten years ago, they were everywhere, but these days we can see a huge diminution of their numbers and an augmentation of the number of perches, my opinion is that the perch learnt how to eat the sunfish and that now they'regoing extinct
@@elipothesarcosuchus8758 I know! Ils sont abondants mais ils ne prennent pas le dessus sur la place. I also they think that they are a handsome fish if you get me
@@bygodfreeman As a relative of carp, pretty large. I’ve heard one of the hugest weighed as much as a small car, but that’s an extreme circumstance. Most of the time they’ll get about 5 pounds in the wild at max. We don’t normally see them reach this size In captivity because their growth is determined by how much space they have. If you keep them in a small glass bowl then they’ll only grow to a size that still gives them enough space to swim around in, but when you release them into a large lake, then they can grow to catastrophic sizes.
I worry with the hardiness and smallness of the Japanese rice fish,it will escape yard ponds and invade local waters as it becomes more popular. Seems like an inconsequential little fish problem but it could wreak havoc on native small fishes.
We have sunfish problem in Turkey. They eat small fish and fish eggs. They overpopulate the waters, if there is pike and perch their numbers drops but size goes up. Where there aren't predetory fish they are small numbers are high.
I know that I might be biased since Zander is native to Scandinavia. But as a fisherman, there are few other fish that are as exciting to catch and as good to eat as the Zander.
I don't remember if you have brought them up or if this is true but I have read that rainbow trout are invasive in some parts of the world (Including New Zealand)
In a way what would be cool is when you do these videos you tell us on how they got to become their like Pike I'm real Curious on how Pike got where I am cuz they weren't introduced from people letting them go
@@bygodfreeman im not afraid at all, i eat it all the time. Now in summer you can catch over a hundred of them. Im personally think that they taste better with skin. I get rid of slime by washing them in viniger and fry them whole. Best fish to eat. Lot of our native fish have a lot of bones and catfish are practically boneless.
Here in France, the american catfish are invasive species whereas the wels catfish is not. The regulatory body and scientifics has been monitoring it closely and even though its is huge and has appetite, it's not the killing monster people are talking about. It's an oportunistic scavenger also that can clean rivers. so it's a 50/50
Two come to mind in the US: the Blue Catfish in the eastern US; and the invasive Asian Carp, as it is referred, in the Great Lakes region of US and the Mississippi.
The Russians introduced pink salmon to the White Sea, and it is quickly making its way down the Norwegian coast on its way to the rest of Europe. It is not known about much problems with its introduction to eco systems, but the biggest concern is that unchecked populations will create pollution of a river system as it spawns before the Atlantic Salmon, brown trout.
California poisoned an entire lake to try to keep northern pike out. Asian carp on the Mississippi River system, snakehead fish in Florida, and lionfish in Florida's coastal water also come to mind for this list (or a part 2).
Snakehead fish only really occur around southeast FL. Pleco catfish, hoplo, & tilapia are absolutely everywhere though. Blue catfish although native to NW FL I'm sure does some damage where introduced. Similar with flathead catfish in some rivers. & some asian grass carp, arguably there could very well be reproducing diploids some or many places, regardless of if fish and wildlife agency wants to admit it or not Yeah, very convoluted/ complex. Just know FL has Lots of invasive fish
I fish in the pumpkin seed's native range and they are just beautiful little fish, they sometimes hybridize with blue gill and green sunfish

i love/hate them
i love em bc i actually catch them but i hate them bc i catch them my local pond is stocked with other fish but i seem to only catch the blue gill and pumpkin seeds
In my area of Oregon almost all the punkin seeds have hybridized with bluegill.
Another thing about the sunfish is that they will even eat a hook with nothing on it. (At least in the US)
Tasty little things, aint they?

If the Floridan actually eat the clown knifefish like how they were a popular food in South East Asia. I bet they will get rid of them soon enough.
I feel thats the ansewr to every invasive species. If you dont like it, cook it. Ill bet you actually like the flavor.
The Pacu in New Guinea springs to mind. As does the Lamprey in the Great Lakes region.
