Silver Carp Below Taylorsville Dam????

[strat5150]

thats ironic
I was watching animal planet last night, part of the episode on river monsters was about these evasive silver carp.
The footage was just as you've discribed "jumping out of the water".
I hope there not in the river, its sounds like they are.
They will do substantial damage

I know they're invasive and going to be bad for the Salt, but I wish someone could figure out a way to catch them via rod and reel.

I know they eat plankton, but the way they jump they would be a blast to fight on a line. I'd fish for them if there was a way.

Where the wabash dumps into the Ohio can be very scary at times. I've hit a few in mid air and they just explode like a water balloon. Talk about a mess...
