10/23/2007 10:00:00 AMI really need to get out and meet you people. There is a serious lack of understanding when it comes to my sense of humor. We did not keep the Pike Minnow, that was more of a joke that once again failed to reach the hearts of Washington Lakes.com. Regardless, that brings me to a question. Why would a Pike Minnow contain more mercury than a Perch? Aren't they all in the same body of water. Does the Pike Minnow's body devour more mercury than a perch. Honestly, I think that is a huge lie the Government came up with to slow down the fishing pressure on these beloved Pike Minnow? WDFW knows where there bread is buttered. Trout and Salmon dont pay the bills, Pike Minnow are king in hippy country.

10/31/2007 11:25:00 AMJoe, Pikeminnow are the top predator in the lake. Top of the food chain getts more mercury and PCBs because they eat more contaminated fish than the other fish. minnow eats a shrimp and gets mercury in it, A bass trout or perch eats 15 minnows and gets 15 times the amount of mercury than the minnow. a Squawfish eats 15 trout and getts ect.......Perch are pretty high as well and the advised safe amount of perch from lake washington was 2 meals per month, none for children, elderly and women of child.bearing age.
