Thats the rumor:)

I think you should turn that critter over to ARGAF pronto. These things nearly killed off the Great Lakes back in the day. I never knew thay got out of Lake Erie, PA.

No these are only inches long and native.;)

ewww.... if I find that the local lake here has those then I'm no longer getting in the water! haha

I caught a crappie in Ky Lake a couple of yrs. back that had one on it.
