Is that a 5 gallon bucket?  They seem kinda small if they only took up that much space in a 5 gal bucket?

It's okay, That's an invasive species so he's trying to kill them off to make room for other fishes in the lakes.

just an FYI

On the trout
They are usually raise in a fish hatchery
And than are taken up the mountain, stream, whatever etc...
And release and stock

I know this
Cause i talk to the DNR guy personally
And he told me this

There number are sooo low already for me
To wipe them out

That’s why I don’t do trout

The meeka here don’t eat them
Maybe few

They just use them as fertilizer

You might want to check your facts cuz you can also catches them natives as well.  Look for the fin on their lower back starts with the letter a.  I totally forgot how you spell that word but looks like the word android

The fish you catch, the Meka here uses for crab bait.  Basically, they don't use bait for human consumption but if you are from that tier of people, more power to you to feed the fam.
