I can't remember where I first saw this. If it was here, sorry for the re-post.

Anyway, check out this innovative way to deal with the Asian carp explosion.

My guess is you haven't a clue of what the fish is doing to the areas affected.    Not to mention what they could do IF they get to Lake Michigan.   Keep laughing "CM in Training".

Like self important D-bags who presume to know everything, including others knowledge and experience?  Your arrogance smacks of someone who thinks their doo doo don't stink.  Bad news homslice it does, it's just that your head has been up there so long you've gotten used to the smell like a hog farmer.

Irony at it's finest.    Watching some kid make light of the Asian Carp, isn't "funny" to me, nor most of us here around the Great Lakes.    Sorry champ, your sauce is weak.

Sorry champ, your sauce is weak.   

But my bait apparently was strong. 

I live on an island in the Mississippi.  My grandfather worked on the river his whole life, my stepdad worked for the same company for a good while, and my uncle still does doing diving and consulting.  Have other members of the extended family who make a living on or around the river in Iowa.  In the summer on any nice weekend you're likely to find me floating down the river drinking margaritas and working on a nice sunburn.  On average I fish the Miss and her tributaries 70 to 80 times a year.  We have all sorts of problems from VHS to AIS like Zebra Mussels, Eurasian Milfoil, Rusty Crayfish, and on and on and on.  The river provides my community and others up and down it with both commerce and recreation.  Granted I am up stream a ways from the confluence with the Illinois but at the current rate of spread of around 50 miles a year it's only a matter of time, and no one is laughing about it. 

That said I would buy "those kids making light of the Asian Carp" a beer at the Boat Club anytime.  What are they supposed to do sell their boat and go cry in the corner?  They get to have some fun and promote their business, and they aren't the only ones doing it, there are other outfits that offer bowfishing charters for Silvers.  Their video is spreading awareness of the problem, and they are out there collecting scalps.  It's certainly not going to solve the problem, but it helps.  More so than pouting about it at least. 

I lump Carp in with terrorists and feral hogs.  You know that there's no way you can ever kill them all but that doesn't mean you can't try to control the problem, and take some pleasure in the elimination of those that you can.

Lighten up Karaya. It was a funny video, no more no less. I mean really, how many timws have you seen a guy in a spike filled trash-can on water-skis with a samurai sword.

Since you're in the mood to be so serious, here's something that some guys up here are working on that holds promise.

If I lived in Illinois, where these fish have made it, I would give it a shot.   But without the ghetto outfit.

This is also the wrong assumption melvin.  The video just isn't funny to me.   Trust me, I DO have a sense of humor and am far from being upset.   If the video was funny to me, I would be laughing.
