Anglers... The Frankenfish Invasion

[Mr. Ivey]

Those of you who enjoy fishing and F.I.R.S.T. who of you has heard of the Frankenfish, that is invading streams, rivers, and other bodies of water in the Maryland/Northern Virginia areas. This fish is at the top of the food chain, meaning nothing eats it, meaning it ain't from around here, someone introduced it to the area. Here's the story...The Frankenfish Story (http://www.timesdispatch.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=RTD%2FMGArticle%2FRTD_BasicArti cle&c=MGArticle&cid=1031777024251&path=%21news&s=1045855934842). So besides using a good old Ugly Stick, and a Shakespear real, with some PowerBait and a Carolina Righ, how would you catch these suckers.

I can remember my grandparents (who live in florida) talk about having the same problem around there.

shrimp and circle hooks.

even if the fish doesn't usually eat shrimp they'll bite at it because it looks like some sort of food. And the circle hooks because it's a rare occation when a fish gets off from one of those.
