Before I moved here, I was torn between the upper penisula of michigan, and ottowa Il, the Illinois river at that time was a pretty good place to fish for sauger walleye and super sized white bass.My cousin who lives near therer quit fishing the river,those things were as thick as gnats.They eat all the plankton, and the fry from valued species starve. Now they are starting to harvest them, for resale to the orient, but of course, there are problems,disposal of waste is causing concern to the greenies, I wondwer when we will be able to harvest those kooks.

"Authorites" wouldn't have told them to stop shooting them just to stop shooting them. Now if they were running at night with loud generators and lights, they may have told them they were "disturbing the peace". Being an avid day and night bowfisherman, I've never had a problem. If anything I've received the comment, "hope you kill them all."

Family friend that runs bridges on the Ohio and Mississippi has shown me video of them from his phone that is truly disturbing. The water looked like the ocean with three four foot swells, I think it was during the wind storm, anyway their where HUNDREDS of them on deck, the hands where out there pushing em off with brooms and shovels, he told me several where actually injured by some of the larger ones. Knowing what it feels like to have a three-four pounder jump into my boat and hit me in the knee, I can certainly believe that. Kill em' all.

Saw a video of three boats running side by side with guys in the back shooting them with shotguns it was a hoot.
