yes, there are a lot of opinions on here of the qaulity or safety of the fish in our waters... the bering sea... the most productive ocean shelf in the world, has had 6 atomic bombs detionated in it for testing, and there are over 500 wrecks in it containing unknown amounts of leaking fluids, the barrents sea has at least 2 nuculear Russian subs and 16 bombs on its floor, the city of New York and New Jersy dump MILLIONS of pounds of human organic waste into the Atlantic Ocean, the most productive commercial crab grounds on the west coast ( for size ) is near the sewage plant at sand lake,.... yada yada yada... these are the places white table cloth restraunts get their product from. So, avoid too much sturgeon, walleye, catfish, or bass and you probably won't grow another eye. And as for the positions taken by forum members and people you meet at the river... theres a high possibility they don't have a high school diploma.... let alone a degree in biology.... myself included..
