Holy Carp! 16 lb. Koi caught in St. Albert pond.
Just saw on the news that an 11-year-old boy caught a 30 inch 16-pound koi out of Lacombe Lake in St. Albert on Wednesday morning. Go figure he caught it using a very elaborate fishing rig.... a hook and a piece of wiener. A koi that big is probably older than the boy.

*Note to self: Maybe try fishing some urban ponds for fun.

They’ve had a long run of problems there with citiots ‘releasing their pets into the wild to live free’, there’s often newspaper articles from AEP on the subject and why fish should go in the trash. Invariably some hairy armpit granola mom writes in to argue about ‘the scantily of life’ or some such garbage.
Thought they hit it with rotenone last year? Hmmm...

Hmmmm sounds like a good place to take a kid, hot dogs and goldfish 
Probably gave the crappy tire rod a good work out.

Solution - band the sale and possession of all aquarium fish in the province.

No offense,,,,, but are you serious? Just because some folks do bad things with goldfish, we need to ban goldfish?
Kinda sounds like anti gun logic........

No, I think you misread. He said band...as in band and register the sale of all aquarium fish. That way we could have another registry and create more jobs.

Sorry ban, dead serious no joke. How else can you try to manage invasive species. Just continue telling people not to do it?
FYI, I have no issues with firearms being owned/used by law abiding citizens for the record

I agree with you on that but only a few aquarium fish sold in pet store can survive our climate. So ban fish that can survive here, which is basically carp species. You can’t have rats as pets in Alberta.
