    Those are bullheads.

    Your post is bullshit.

    But you don't fish, so you wouldn't understand.

    NY as well. They were burning old firefighting equipment and other PFA waste.

    They have developed a fairly easy way to break down PFA with heat recently.

    With all contaminants, stocked fish are safer than native fish as the exposure time of the former is a fraction of that of the latter.

Lake Superior fish is generally considered safe, but many inland lakes' fish are not.

    We have truly shit in our nest.

    Great. They appear to be ubiquitous and are even in things like shampoos, water-resistant fabrics, food packaging.

    If it makes you feel like a man to call them catfish, have at it. I don't eat bottom feeders for obvious reasons.

    But I was offering a play on words for the moron who doesn't understand anything about pollutants in our environment, and fishing.

    They're long dead and faded, but you're probably correct. Or just catfish. Our channel cats are very black with white underbelly. I've caught them over 10 lbs by accident while fishing for lakers.

    Easiest fish in the world to catch. Their sense of smell is amazing.

    But my bolded text makes it obvious that I was playing around with Dippity Do

    Well, bullheads are bait unless a person is starving. Those are all channel cat (which some people won’t eat … but then I eat a lot of things most people won’t eat) except for two, which are blue cat.

    Lol…it wasn’t obvious to me. And you are correct…they are very easy to catch at the right times.
