Not a trick question, but your question emphasizes the potential problem here of somebody unknowingly infesting a land locked lake with asian carp that otherwise would have remained free of them.

That is a VERY good point.

Number 1 is the correct answer.

Live in a net or in a livewell I think it would be difficult at best to tell.

IMO the only common sense thing to do is make it illegal to transport bait from one body of water to another. I hope the state does so before it's too late for many of our lakes.

I cast net shad in the Ky river, but I can't keep them alive long enough to transport them anywhere. I would not transport anyway. Even if they were not asian carp any shad could harm a lake under the right conditions.

But this brings up me big question. How safe are bait shop shinners and minows?? I never release even bait shop bait but there have been a few slip the hook.
