These fish should not allowed to be harvested to be thrown into tiny puddles that are unable to support them. It's an unethical and inhumane thing to put these animals through. Just pure torture.

We have to stop this commercial fishing for paylakes. They have nearly wiped out the catfish in the upper stretch of the Ohio River and are moving to new waters to exploit. These fish are tortured in tiny foodless ponds where they are caught repeatedly until they die of starvation, disease or stress in a matter of a few months or less. All to line the pockets of a few people. Look at what this type of fishing did to sea bass and bluefin tuna.

These commercial fishermen have been raping are rivers of monster catfish for decades. This needs to stop so are children & there kids have a chance at catching a monster to. Instead of only hearing about monster catfish in a story about tge good old days. Thats whats happened to are monster flats here in Iowa, because of bank poles & limb lines its tragedy it really is.

Save the trophy cats and stop the transporting of invasive species like Asian carp which are now being stocked in the same lakes that are destroying our rivers!!!!

Catfishing is the only reason I come to Kentucky, if the river fishing don't improve or stronger regulations put into effect on the rivers, there will be no need for me to come and spend my money in this state.
