Yes it is a waste of time bassrods to stock fish that don't belong in that particular ecosystem. I don't agree totally with stocking all those different types of fish in new places. We are we gambling with mother nature. Bye the way, most of those fish I can't even catch im my neck of the woods. But even besides that fact why would anybody want to plant perch in the majority of our lakes. The places they are planted by bucket biologist totally changes the way a fisheries biologist has to manage that lake. Just because of one little fish. In most cases I've seen where perch have been planted it totally destroyed the ecosystem or another species was introduced to manage just one type of fish in most lakes. Plan and simple a waste of money and another destroyed ecosystem. I feel the same way about Brookies that stunt or bows that reduce native cut populations.
