These things are going to ruin Lake MI sport fishing.
For the life of me I cannot figure out why the US Dept of Ag didn't ban their importation until 2010 when it was know they were decimating the Mississippi fisheries. I cannot understand the Feds haven't stepped in and stopped the production of Big Head Carp/Asian Carp from places like the fish farm in Peru IN that is still growing this swimming rat for import into Canada as food.
Just give places like Sweet Water Springs Fish Farms in Peru IN a choice. Go out of business or take a one time buyout and a government approved cleaning of the farm to eradicate the Asian carp. The buyout would also cover the costs of the first 2 shipments of trout, US catfish or other indigenous species.

Play Peoria Carp Hunters
T-SHIRTS http://peoriacarphunters.spreadshirt.com/ http://www.peoriacarphunters.com/Home_Page.html Asian Carp have overrun the Illinois River in Peoria. Zac and Nate, water skiing CARP HUNTERS with swords and a wolverine claw, take matters into their own hands. We fabricate weapons, a "shredder suit", and a methodology for killing Asian Carp, Silver Carp, Jumping Carp, Flying Carp. Have you ever seen anyone water skiing with a samurai sword? The Carp Hunters are vehemently opposed to the Asian Carp, Flying Carp, Silver Carp, Bighead Carp, Jumping Carp's progression up the Illinois River which will inevitably end up in the Great Lakes. Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, and Lake Erie. As we were Bow-hunting one day on the Illinois River we decided that it would be way more intense to waterski behind the boat with a shredder suit and a samurai sword in order to kill these uninvited Asian Carp, Flying Carp, Silver Carp, Bighead Carp, and Jumping Carp. This video is the first in a series to show our story. We care greatly about preserving our natural ecosystem in the Illinois River. Since we can't Bass fish anymore we have taken on this burden. Bow Hunting aside, we have created a new way of fishing. Please enjoy the CARP HUNTERS.

They can be good if a little difficult to prepare with their bones. There is no market for anything called "carp" in the u.s. though. They need to be renamed to chilean red river flounder.

"Israel has been a big destination for U.S. Asian carp where they are turned into Gefilte fish patties. But in December, Israel started levying a tariff on U.S. Asian carp, all but shutting down that market."
The fuck? maybe we could take a billion of the ridiculous amounts of military funding we give them and put it towards the carp problem instead then.

That would have been really funny if it actually worked, and trust me, I was rooting for them.
