All my fellow California Happy Mutants, be safe out there! On top of all else, I’m nursing a very finicky out flow from my bathrooms – I’m not calling a plumber out in this crap.

I was gonna say “If it’s deep enough for fishing, cars should not be driving in it”. Then I realized the fish was probably catchable-by-bare-hands because it wasn’t able to fully submerge.

Looks like a common carp, which is invasive. Hopefully dude took it out of the ecosystem.

Awhhh, suddenly sashimi! I hate it when that happens.
Hard to tell. Looked more like a brown trout to me, with the adipose fin. Non-native, but not invasive if so, and probably not a legal take method. If so, that’s a trophy brown!

Probably shouldn’t eat it though: Locally caught fish are full of dangerous chemicals called PFAS | CNN
Or maybe road fish is ok.
