Mark,
Man that has been how I look at most fish anymore, too much Mercury. I just don't eat fish that I catch. Right or wrong, I just stay away from eating the fish in this state, 99.9% of the time.hagd

Re: Fish advisory (MERCURY) Lake Cumberland
Other than smallmouth I wouldn't mind eating some of the fish I catch but I'm usually to lazy to mess with cleaning them...Mercury or no mercury, except for if I caught them out of the Ohio. In my own opinion a fish in the Ohio is just one mean critter regardless of the species simply because of the living conditions it endures.
Back to the LC Mercury...I think a person would have to eat a LOT of fish containing mercury before it caused any harm.
Wouldn't the right kind of hot sauce cancel out any mercury? Ok, just kidding...

For crying out loud, as kids didn't we use to play with mercury? I know I did, and as far as I can tell everything ok with my heath... Dan

Great point and we played around lead based paints as well. Hmmmm I wonder why we are so fearful of it now? I guess some smart guy figured out that we damaged ourselves beyond repair.

Oh you can bet I'll still eat me some stripers, walleyes and occassionally some Spots out of there.
