What he did was not right to be sure but come on, you get less for manslaughter!
I'll make this pretty easy and clear. Gobies are in Deer Creek conservation area, which is a reservoir up stream, and up dam from the lake. They weren't there before. They got there, in baitbuckets that were filled at the local shops on the shore of Erie. Clear enough?
Unfortunately @Wave Runner it is true. Over the years I have talked to many that brought minnows to Deer Creek, Little Lake, Teetervile Pond, Lehmans Dam etc. that where purchased at the lake from bait shops. In the 70's my dad and I regularly used Red and Yellow Bellied Dace from a farm pond south of Otterville. Never thought twice about dumping the water to keep them alive or dumping them to feed the fish when the day was done. Now Deer Creek has Gobie and Zebra Muscles. You can bet the Muscles didn't swim upstream, crawl up 200 ft of concrete to make a new home.
