Don't even need a "pole".

These carp are for sale to eat in the asian supermarkets around Fort Worth.
Don't even need a "pole".
And our 7 billion dollar sportfishing industry can just go to hell right along with an even bigger tourism industry.
After some of the CRAP I’ve eaten at upscale delicacy restaurants I don’t think some people care about the taste as long as it’s expensive.
How big are lake pike?
And if we don't stop the carp? What do you think will happen to the sports fish when the carp eat all the food and the young sports fish fingerlings? You need to do a little research on the impact of the Asian Carp.
Those seem to be the key words behind the rest of our government spending........Why not spend on something worthwhile?
LMAO
That’s the whole point of preventing the carp from entering the lakes in the first place but Obama has done all he can to make sure they do enter the lake. That way he can further destroy America’s economy and gain an excuse for billions to study the problem.
I agree. Bounty. I’ve suggested it before, and other Freepers have agreed, and I’ve agreed with them when I’ve seen their posts.
And a bounty would stimulate fishing sales: everything from bait to poles to licenses.
The problem will be the yahoos who then try to raise it in their back yard to sell the offspring. How would you control that?

Placing a bounty on the pike won’t do it. They’re waaaay too prolific and those waterways are waaaay too deep. I don’t even think blasting with dynamite would do it.
Those waterways need to be shut down, or the Great Lakes fishing industry could well go under. And no one wants to ride a boat with those things around, either.
Take a look. If you want to fastforward a bit, go to the 2:00 mark or so:

We’re going to need a bigger lake.
A lot of black folk around here catch them and eat them. They say that if you know how to remove the mud gland that they are pretty good but most white folk don’t know how. Even with the mud gland removed they are pretty much awful. A black lady at work brought some in her lunch one day and when she put it in the microwave to heat it she completely cleared the cafeteria. I’ve never smelled anything that bad before in my life. LOL I would have sworn she buried it for a week before digging it up and cooking it.
I doubt my dogs would even touch it.
Place a bounty on the poachers.
I believe in the industry and ingenuity of the American entrepreneur. Make it worth their while and they will find a way. Got a better use for that money?
Exactly. A bounty would put an end to them.
It doesn't matter how big it is, Lake Michigan is merely the doorway to ALL the great lakes including Lake St. Clair where I live.........
B>It's Chicago's problem now.....but Zero will blame it on Bush, since he 'inherited' the migration from his era.
Catch them in traps baited with visions of eternal karaoke glory.
