exists.

I believe that's a lamparay and they have even gotten into the great lakes. Come up the St Laurence thru the locks with the big ships.

Anytime I see where an expert says not to worry, it’s time to worry. Ballast water also gave us Zebra mussels.

And numerous other non native species. I believe Florida is dealing with Lion Fish now. Dangerous but good eating.

Hi Mr. FourchonLa,
Glad we are far from Vermont. Hate to go skinny dipping and have one
latch on to any of our private parts. But I would assume guys would to :)

Wonder about the walking catfish that was getting to be a problem down Miami way back in 60s? You would drive over them crossing the roads.
