It's not at all political, it's about restoring a native fish to the waters it once inhabited. I'm really kinda shocked at some of the replies from guys that I know are all about catch and releasing native/wild fish. The reason this needs to be done is because for years there habitat was destroyed by us, not only that but for years anglers thought of them as a trash fish and would even goes as far as to throw them in the blackberry bushes.
