My wife and I recently picked up a 20ish gallon aquarium and have been discussing what to do with it. Does anyone have a link or information about keeping a sunfish as a pet or about harvesting bait? Primarily concerned in learning what would be legal and what would not be. A clear explanation of border water regulations would be great. I fish the same amount of time on both the WI and MN side of the Mississippi River. Thanks!
Think you will get in more trouble transporting the fish in the water. Just have a clean bucket of water and least you won’t get any AIS citations. Have yet to hear of anyone having issues with pet fish, then again I don’t know anyone either.
x2 in Wi, if you catch it and imediately use it for bait it’s legal
Is there still a loophole where a child can keep a wild caught gamefish as a pet?

Or a loophole allowing you to keep live bait? (Non-species specific) Only never to get around to using it?
