Tahoe's Monster Goldfish
There has been a nationwide discussion about the recent discovery of a giant goldfish here in Lake Tahoe. According to news.discovery.com
A new kind of lake monster has been found, in the depths of Lake Tahoe: gigantic goldfish. Researchers trawling the lake for invasive fish species scooped up a goldfish that was nearly 1.5 feet long and 4.2 pounds.
The arrival of the fish, which were probably dumped there by aquarium owners, has scientists worried — goldfish are an invasive species that could interfere with the Lake's ecosystem.
In addition, having one of those guys brush up against you, while swimming, would erase all sense of security being in a lake provides those of us who are ooked out by what lurks in the ocean.
