What I have heard is the Asian Carp eat the eggs of everything they find therefore decimating the aquatic population. I have a good friend who has a cabin on Chisholm Lake outside of Ripley TN and the fishing was historically good there. Ever since the 2011 flood though the fishing has declined till now the only thing that you find there is Asian Carp. There's not even turtles found there much anymore and fishing is nonexistent. This is a very serious situation.
