Asian Carp

These things are FAR worse then any Channa (snake heads) invading our waters. The reason is because they are filter feeders. Being filter feeders they harm things from the bottom of the food chain to the top.

Id rather have a population of northern snake heads that get up to 20lbs, will absolutely crush a plastic plug, bust tackle, fight hard and actually taste quite delicous. Instead we are dealing with this big stanking, dangerous, bad tasting, plankton feeders.

I snagged one on a crankbait near Warsaw, Markland Pool, on the Ohio River 4 years ago fishing a Tue night bass tournament out of Craigs. I didn't know what it was. I put it in the livewell, later took pics, and called Dennis Sharon, the local game warden. He came and looked at it, notified Frankfort, and they said they had no idea that the fish had migrated that far upstream. BTW I left the fish at the ramp for the racoons.
