Goldfish

[Muddog]

On page (4) of the 2006 Mn fishing regulations, I says; Minnows- members of the minnow family, goldfish; bullheads, ciscoes, lake whitefish, goldeye, and mooneyes, not over seven inches long, leeches, tadpole madtoms and stonecats.

This would make you think that goldfish can be used as bait. It's a minnow!

On page (10) It states. Using whole or parts of game fish, goldfish, or carp for bait is unlawful.

Can anyone explain why goldfish have been reclassified as a minnow.

It is decieving,as a friend ask me if he could use goldfish and I told him no as thats what I read towards the end of the laws.
