Re: [GSAS-Member] Smuggling Fish

That is the thing I am most concerned about.  What if my actions kill the
fish?  I don't like the thought of that.

I have transported North American natives across the US with mixed results. 
It is illegal to transport liquids above 3 ounces in your carry-on (no 
exceptions).  A couple years ago I was bringing longear sunfish home from 
Arkansas in checked baggage.  When I was changing planes in DC there was a 
heat wave, my luggage spent about a half hour on the tarmac, turning my fish

into chowder.  At other times I have brought home a checked bag with up to 
20 fish without losing one.

I have much more success sending and receiving live fish by mail.  Once, on 
a trip to Kansas I met up with a professor from Washburn U in Topeka KS.  We

collected all day in the Topeka area.  He held the fish in medicated 
quarantine for two weeks and then mailed them to me.  No loses.
