Other fish on the list, flatheads, bighead carp, grass carp, and silver snakehead, to name a few. No surprises there.

Its interesting. Most species we enjoy aren't native to NJ: Large and smallmouth bass, lake trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, walleye, pike, musky, channel cats.

Without non-native species, NJ would be a boring place!
