WTH is an Illini? Dead goose?
I have watched this topic for a while now and I have to wonder how long it would take for his species to take over Lake Erie and ruin it's fishing industry.
The Supreme Court recently ruled against the lake states and let Illinios keep open the locks that will allow this menace to gain an entrance into the Great Lakes.
I am very concerned about the future of the lake I and every other Ohioan has known since we first beheld it's majesty.
How will this issue be handled, and when, or will it never be.

Attorneys general want to attend carp summit
ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. ? Attorneys general from five states want to attend a White House meeting on preventing an Asian carp invasion of the Great Lakes.

Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox and his counterparts from Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin made the request Monday in a letter to President Barack Obama.

Obama's top environmental adviser last week agreed to discuss the carp problem with the region's governors next month. The attorneys general said they should be represented because they're "on the front lines" in the fight.

Several states have sued the federal government to close shipping locks near Chicago that could provide an opening for the carp into Lake Michigan. But they were denied by the Supreme Court.

Authorities last week revealed carp DNA had been detected in the lake, where they could crowd out native species and threaten the fishing industry.
 
T and have fished the lake too many times to count and I think the politicians who want votes better take care of this mucho quicko.
This would be such a disaster from so many outlooks.
It wouldn't hurt anyone in here to add this to your list of items on the letter you send to your reps, both here in Ohio and in DC.

Mr. Limpet is all in favor of more Oriental sucker fish. Something about Mili's advice and "long time".

Envision water skiers and these fish in the same waters. They would need a Kevlar vest.:biggrin:
Laugh if you want but if I go fishing and all I can catch is carp I am going to get irate.

Why don't they just fish the hell out of the carp until they are extinct or close to it? They seem to be able to fish everything else until its almost extinct, so why not the Bruce Lee carp?

Send the caught fish to Haiti.
