We have a trash fish problem on the Columbia. It use to be called a "Squaw Fish" however, the indians didn't think it was PC.
So now the name is pikeminnow. Here there is an increasing bounty on them,
"The 2011 season for the sport-reward fishery will start at all stations on May 1, 2011. The season will end September 30, 2011.
For every qualifying northern pikeminnow 9 inches or longer returned to a registration station, anglers will receive $4-$8. The more fish an angler catches, the more they're worth: the first 100 in one season are worth $4 each; after 100, they're worth $5 each; and after 400 they're worth $8 each. Special tagged northern pikeminnow will be worth $500 again this year. "
