Yummy. Nothing like a little Illinois sea bass to solve all the problems in this bankrupt state. The 2011 equivalent of "let them eat cake"?

You can always count on the government to give you a load of carp.

From what I gather carp is a trash fish as far as flavor goes, I used to raise koi fish which are basically carp.

Europeans will eat carp, and if you get people hungry enough I guess Americans will eat it as well.

Question is, who will use it politically for crony capitalism?

But the idea has major obstacles, mainly overcoming people’s nose-crinkling response to eating a fish that grows to 100 pounds and is able to sail out of the water

Hasn’t the writer ever heard of swordfish?

What about sending it to countries where the people are starving to death like Somalia? To them, it would be a Godsend.

No mention of the fact that legal sales of great lakes fish are limited due to mercury contamination?

Illinois is simply trying to keep the sewage canal open.

Why are these fish such a problem? According to lefties, we’re good at exterminating stuff.

They let you bow fish these things. What they need to do is let people shoot them like skeet with rules for safety of coarse. I bet that would be fun and effective.

Carp are OK if you smoke them, but they’re hard to keep lit.

Solve the acceptance problem by calling them Illinois Catfish instead of Asian Carp and the po folk will be standing in line....................

Illinois launches Asian carp anti-hunger program

This is a good thing. In this day and age, no Asian carp should be going to bed hungry.
