EDDYVILLE — The War on Carp continues in Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, as U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has secured some $25 million for that purpose.
The funding was renewed, matching the same amount in the federal government’s budget of the previous year, all according to Lyon County Judge-executive Wade White’s recent post on the War on Carp Facebook page.
These funds supplement an additional $45 million through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which will aim at barriers and other ways to stop the movement of carp, White noted in his post.
“Thanks to Sen. McConnell, at least 10 projects must take place on the Tennessee and Cumberland river watersheds, including Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley,” White wrote.

Breaking!
The Cajun Navy would probably clean them up for the cost of transportation and hotel expenses, out of state fishing licenses and Tony Chachere’s seasoning.
I hope the fish vote Democrat.
BREAKING: The Senate just passed another major bipartisan, War on Carp package. The American people can rest assured that more help in fighting carp in KY is on the way, immediately.— Leader McConnell (@senatemajldr) December 30, 2020
The Asian carp are a nuisance and threaten to oversome all of our native fish. Sounds weird but it is true. Someone posted about this awhile back with a slew of facts on the subject. The CCP invasion is bugs, fish, germs, finance, spies, etc. You name it. Invasion by infiltration. Of everything. Commie fish! LOL I’m only half joking here. Only.
Proving the power of the Seante is as equal as the power of the Presidency. And lasts longer. Term Limits!
(SP) Senate*
I have awful news, folks. Sitting down?
Okay, the average life span of large Turtles is 150 years.
McConnell is only 78.
Cool. Can you go fishing with a butterfly net?
I’m thinking shotgun excursions on pontoon boats.........
There’s a great concern they might make it into the great lakes which would have devastating results......
LMAO!
The carp has ruined the bass fishing on Kentucky Lake.
There have been reports of boaters being injured by the Chi-carp or CCarP. They kill or push out native species and are a real threat.
There is a company that buys them and ships the filets back to Asia and China.
