Default Waaayy too many mosquito fish!

I put in 5 mosquito fish 4 summers ago. Now I have a million. They are
smart. I have tried several ways to catch them. All work for 4-5 days.
I've done commercial minnow traps, homemade nets that are baited, the
inverted bottle. I even resorted to putting a net on the end of a pole and
scooping them out. I catch about 11 on each pass. Reduces the population
for a day and makes me feel better.

If you find ANY thing that will eat them, get a patent.

Bullfrogs do a good job of keeping them in check in
