As far as eradication goes, that will never happen unless they are willing to kill everything in the river. They will always be with us. The good news is that if there is a way to make money off them, they will find a way to harvest them and in return, reduce the numbers. Personally I can't see nets as being mandatory to get large numbers. They seem to be very sensitive to pressure waves so I think it would be very easy to drop a couple of electrical wires out the front of the boat and put a mild electrical current in the water. Those thing would be flying all over the place. Why net them if they will just jump in the boat. Of course once the numbers are reduced there wont be any choice but to use nets. That is a draw back because we already have to deal with nets for catfish in the river. I will say that I've talked to a well known catfish tourney guy and he says that asian carp are excellent cut bait for catfish because they are very bloody. SHHHH, you didn't hear that from me.
