Is this published, or thru the grapevine?

If someone can come up with that many at one time, looks like we are in trouble. If it is the same Piney Creek I'm thinking of, it runs into the Ark. River.

How did someone find that many? Do the Game & Fish folks know about this?

This is a bad fish boys. These suckers eat everything they can catch. The walk on their pectoral fins from place to place gulping air. They have a rudamentry set of lungs just like a tarpon, who also surfaces from time to time to gulp air. However, the tarpon is a saltwater game fish. If you catch one of these be aware they BITE. Kill any you catch and leave their dead carcas on the land for the ants. DO NOT THROW THE DEAD ONES BACK IN THE WATER. They are a teniacious preditor and very hard to eliminate. Tight lines.

but the creek does eventually flow into the White, which is connected to the AR, and Miss rivers, which means BAD NEWS!!!
