If this problem isn't aggressively attacked now, in three or four years the population
will be unstoppable. Almost every bay is FULL of these dudes...thousands. The Illinois river has
a huge problem with boater injuries ......not to mention the damage to the fishery.

I'm sure there is research on how to keep them from reproducing......we need
something fast ! When researching the species you find they don't eat shad....
they supposedly only feed on plankton. I have caught a few (mostly snagged) and
have caught one in the mouth on a tailspinner that hit the bait. In the bays now
you will witness what seems to be them feeding in schools of bait.

How do we stop them.........Kryptonite !
