I always hear people saying if you catch a squaw to kill it. Why is that? Do you think the same way. I don't have a problem with killing them if they are a danger to other fish

Wow, maybe it's just the camera lighting, but I've never seen a squafish that silver. Looks almost like a giant whitefish.

And yeah Rfatt16, they do decimate the trout and salmon populations. There's a bounty on 'em down in the Big C. I don't know if they really mess with the warmwater species.

Fishing is like sex,
when it's good, it's real good,
and when it's bad,
it's still pretty good.
