I generally try to stay within the guidelines set by the epa...however that being said if you had a whole legal team standing behind you while you made your consumption report I would imagine you would err on the side of caution, waaay out on the side of caution. I noticed that all 3 states (KY OH IN) have different consumption advisories for the river so I am not sure which one is valid. I will eat sauger out of the river because I cant seem to catch them (their cousin the walleye) at Brookville lake so I am stuck with what I have locally and boy oh boy! do they taste good!! I think this is a personal issue kinda like smoking cigars or having unprotected intercourse with a skanky hooker outside of a drug rehab center. By the way enjoy your river caught sauger! (oh and that rubber casing around the fish isnt to keep it fresh, it's a used condom, you might want to toss that.)
Good Luck!
Bill
