I did this a few years back,I was in that same situation,so I
took my jd's when they got big enough and I let them go in
a pond near my house,you know I went fishing a while
after that and caught one of them,I was surprised as hell
by that.


Releasing exotic species to the wild can cause all kinds of environmental
damage, and in most civilized countries it's illegal.

A lot of people think things like "just a couple of new fish can't do much
harm in that huge lake."
Around half a century ago some people thought the same thing about releasing
some Nile Perch into Lake Victoria. Within a decade, the Nile Perch caused
the extinction of well over 1,000 species that were endemic to the lake.

Over a thousand species gone forever, because a couple of guys dumped a few
fish.

It may seem like only a small chance of doing harm, but extinction is
FOREVER.

Think about it....
