Somebody asked if any fisheries have been devastated by the carp. I read where a guy on bbc from illinois said it used to take 16-20lbs of smallies to win a 5 fish tourny on his local river, now theyve dropped down to 1 or 3 fish limit tournies and often if a guy brings in a keeper, he wins. So do they have negative impacts on fisheries, absolutely. Itll likely take a lot longer for the effects to be felt on a body of water the size of KY/Barkley, but it will happen. Its a shame they cant figure out what caused the bubbling on the gills that caused the carp to go belly up below the dam. These carp seem to favor shallow water, so how long until the bait and gamefish start wandering around out in the channel more than they already do.
