These things seem so rare they should have thrown it back...after they took a picture of course

It would have likely died. These fish pop up more often than people think.

I'm sure they will find one in the Great Lakes soon. Along with all the other non-native species.

17 hours....based upon various posts, that's longer than some folks here keep their own fish alive
