Great news Whiskers! It's my understanding commercial fishermen can harvest certain size fish by using a net with bigger or smaller holes. This is supposed to allow many of the sportfish to slip through with a small percentage dying in the nets.

I've seen big schools of these things in the back of some of the bays in Barkley this time of year. It's interesting, if one gets spooked the entire school which may be 150 yards long, will react in a fraction of a second.

If this Asian Carp Processing Plant goes well, hopefully it will lead to many more up and down our river systems. It's about the only chance we have.

Commercial guys have a chance to make good money but they will earn it. I spoke with one a couple of years back who told me an Asian Carp is one of the stinkiest things he ever had in the boat. Now that's saying something.

More and more people are getting hit in the head with these things. Seems like most of them were either just starting their motor or moving 8-12 miles an hour. Haven't heard of a bass boat speeding down the lake getting hit yet. If it does, somebody could be hurt seriously.
