I figured as much, but yesterday was a slow day.;)

And I'm always ready to defend my beloved carp.

Couldn't the Japanese just net up the bluegill and sell them to the Chinese? Then they could make something out of it, add lead to it and sell it in the U.S.
Really though, anytime an animal/plant is introduced out of it's native habitat, you run the risk of disaster. One example is the white perch. Eagerly sought after on the East coast, but in the midwest and great lakes, they're considered an exotic invasive pest. Flathead catfish get the same designation in North Carolina.

Yeah we have that problem here in California with Northern Pike. Some idiot put northern pike into a trout lake here which feeds into the California delta. They have spent millions trying to kill the pike and I still don't think they are all dead.

Russell is full of carp. I've shot thousands over the years on Russell at night from the boat before I quit shooting fish (too old to really enjoy it anymore).
