It would be awesome to see the Colorado Pikeminnow put in there. The can grow 6 feet long and be 80+ pounds. An aggressive ,huge fish sounds pretty awesome. Plus they are native and would help out the species. Check out this old dude's story:
Quote:We would go down into Lodore Canyon until we came to the first rapids. That's as far as we dared to go because we had to turn around and go back upstream. There were hundreds of swallows who had their nests built of mud on the canyon walls. This one time when we were fishing, the baby swallows were just leaving the nest. A lot of them fell into the river ... Every big squawfish in the Green River must have migrated to the canyon to feast on the swallows because we sure caught a lot of them, or let's say, we had a lot of them hooked. The tackle we were using was a little light for a 50-pound fish. We managed to land a lot of 10 to 20 pounders. Every one that we gutted out had a stomach plumb full of baby swallows![signature]
