    I love it. The exotics needed to be thinned out. It will be very good for populations of bass, bluegill, crappie, etc. On a bad note, I saw a bunch of snook dead, far more than I thought were in the lake. I didn't know they were sensative to cold.

    I saw some weird fish that were dead at Floral City.. They looked prehistoric with a fat body and thin tail, with a fin that grew from one side to the other.. it was weird. The guys that have lived here called them a "river dog" and when I google "river dog" I get a minor league baseball team and some guys that get together and play poker... it wasn't a "armored catfish" as I just looked at that..
