How many would eat Ohio River crappie?

Since they are not bottom feeders, i would say, a meal every 2-3 months would be o-k. Besides, we all eat chicken, they eat poo-poo, and have sex with their own mothers!!, and i don't even want to go into what a hog will or won't eat!!! Tr

LOL. Great comment!

Just out of curiosity, can anybody name one person that has died from eating fish out of the Ohio River?
I'll be keeping an eye out for any posts. This could be a while! Lol!

A better question would be can you name one fish that's totally safe to eat every day for the rest of your life that swims in the Ohio River? Or another question is how much PCB's have been eaten and stored in your fat cells over your life time of eating Ohio River Fish.

How about name one interstate that's totally safe to drive everyday for the rest of your life? Life is too short worrying about eating fish from the river. Sorry, but I'm not a "doom & gloom" person. We're all going to die from something. Hopefully, I won't die from a contaminated fish in the river...I can just picture the Big Guy upstairs doing that to me after typing this post! Lol!

My philosophy is "Moderation in all things". That being said I do have a problem when it comes to moderation with bourbon.

I eat sauger from the Ohio river. How often? A fish fry maybe 3 times a year with myself consuming 2 fillets. I'm sure my exposure to other carcinogens greatly out weighs these few fish fillets I eat.

I would rather eat something I myself catch than any fish from a market that I have absolutely no knowledge of it's source or processing.

We all will die. It's only been relatively recent in our culture that cause of death has to be determined.

If I'm shot when I'm 70 years old by a jealous husband, is my cause of death lead poisoning or stupidity on my part?

Tyme I know your wife, I expect her to shoot you at anytime! Lol

By informing the fishing commuity they can make up their own minds as to what to eat or not. At least they now know what's going on in the water.

I think that Peter had a good post about ORSANCO. They test the water and fish for pollution and the State's issue fish consumption advisories.

But you are right that we can't worry too much about this. We are all going to die someday. Might as well try to enjoy our time on this earth and be happy.
