    I see Minnesota isn’t the only state with AIS issues

    Good thing we don’t have alligators or mercury.

    Well hellsbells! We could do that (electrofishing) with all the Asian Carp! Wait…we did that last year…all summer and didn’t find any.

    Why don’t those Georgians sell them to the folks in Kentucky who buy them from the commercial fishermen on the Mississippi to stock thier pay lakes?!?! That would help solve two problems…commercial fishermen taking too many big flatheads out of the Mississippi and Georgia could make some cash for thier eradication program. The land fill sure seems like an aweful waist of a good resource.
