What I get a kick out of is the cost per fish. At $116.00 per fish, I've marked like ten thousand dollars of fish in the past little bit. That's a lot of money for such a poor return.

It varies by hatchery, they take into the amount spent and divide it by the rate of return. So on a good batch of fish, it may only be like 10 bucks a fish. It should only be 10 bucks a fish, but our state spends money like grandma did at sears with grandpas credit card.
