Wild Jumping Carp On Illinois River

I've heard talk of making sterile males and releasing them to impregnate females who can't beat fertile eggs then.

Actually, they were introduced by some government agency to do a certain task, attack another species or clean up the river. They just got out of hand because they hoarde the plankton and starve out the native fish and grow to huge sizes.

Folks, there is a commercial fisherman in Peoria that says he markets these fish to Asian markets here in the US and make $200K last year.

Who has a commercial fishing boat for sale?

if i could get paid for killing all them bitches ill do it

THis is wild! I'm wondering how they taste. Can you eat hem? I mean if the population gets too wild, can't we just get some corn meal and some hot sauce and take care of these. Chilean Sea Bass used to be called Patagonia Toothfish, a little re-branding and you could have a luxury item.

Why was the lady at the end throwing them back in? Especially when they kinda looked like they were still alive?

everyone here talks about it and its pretty pathetic that i live 1 block from the Illinois river and ive never seen jumping carp :( i feel left out...

Yeahh, I livee byy the riverr tooo.
I wantt tooo seeee thiss tooo:p
Well, I live on the otherr side of town, but still:p

Look at 1:13 looks like electrodes putting a charge in the water, the fish are jumping because they are being electrocuted. Looks pretty cruel to me.

shut up hippie go fuck a tree or something
