Post by: Jburke on June 21, 2011, 01:59:03 AM: Heard that one of the pens was ripped open again and all of the fish got out. Also heard that they may have been released due to a nitrogen problem that was killing fish so they released them all to save them. :dunno: Either way those are some damn nice fish.

Post by: yelp on June 21, 2011, 07:57:09 AM: Pens weren't ripped open. The nitrogen poisoning from the dumping of all the water at Grand COulee was killing th efish in the pens. I heard that the company that manages the net pens insurance co. wasn't going to pay for any of the losses due to the poisoning. So they opted to release the fish versus having them die? Most of the net pens are fairly shallow and it was keeping the fish in the upper part of the water column where nitrogen levels were still high. Now these hungry fish are being fed daily and are scarfing up anything and everything. It doesn't take long to get a two fish limit. Great fun for artificial lure fisherman!

That's the same story I got from day one by guys in the know. I thought it was more or less being kept hush hush, because that was a way they could collect insurance money- by having them escape...natural..... :dunno:
