I know a lot of you have already read about or seen video of the asian carp invasions in the eastern part of the nation, but I thought this was an interesting article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/15/us/15land.html?ref=science

Make sure you scroll down and click to page 2... and wait until you read how fast the population grew! If you haven't seen video of the carp jumping before, make sure to click on that link, as well.

Sarge,  It appears that fishing in Ill River is a NO NO....Any idea if they will be able to rid the river of those rascals?  Lets hope they don't get out here or ARMOR would be a better fit than catchers gear....
Oh my God....what next.....Thanks for the article...
