Green Sunfish are found in many places(Delaware River/Spruce Run). Should we be killing them?

While I agree with the state's sentiment, IMO once they are here, they are here.

It's tough enough to eradicate if the state uses Rotenone on a water body that has feeder creeks, no less expect anglers to make a dent.

I suppose if you found the "dangerous" fish in an isolated body of water, it would make sense to follow the state guidelines to kill them, otherwise I wouldn't bother. A river? no chance.

just keep the green sunfish. they've got nice little fillets and taste fine. everybody wins.
