    The fish was never weighed nor was it measured. The fish and wildlife was doing a study on walleyes at Laurel Lake.

    And the plot thickens...Is this really a smallmouth? Is it a dude or a gal? Who shocked it up KDFWR or U.S,forestery? Is Jim really a cross dresser? So many questions....A regular Water - gate ...LOL

    According to the article the study was conducted by "Georgia Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit" NOT the U.S. Forestry!! Says so right at the top of the article.

    You really don't see anything on there that would lead you to believe the U.S. Forest Service was involved? My gosh man, it list three names at the top. These are the three people involved with the study. You listed the group for the first guy, but you evidently missed this:

    RUSSELL F. THUROW AND JOHN W. GUZEVICH
    U.S. Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station,
    316 East Myrtle, Boise, Idaho 83702, USA

    No matter how many times you say it, it is still false. The U.S. Forest Service does employ fishery biologists and they do electroshocking.

    Also like to add, that this fish was not shocked, it was caught in a gill net.
