I wouldn’t even eat fish caught in huge lakes around here, like Harris or Griffin. I grew up in Leesburg on Lake Harris when you could swim, fish, ski and boats were everywhere. The world champion water skiers used to train here on Lake Harris. It’s gotten very gross over the years and now you don’t see boats and there are some fisherman out there but I doubt they’d eat them.
