absolutely worthless. And they eat anything too, including the white crappie i fish the Miss for, as well as LMB, when it isn't size prohibitive, of course.
Yeah, in the Kaskaskia river there is a drunken Asian carp derby....guys in jon boats tool off down the river, making the fish jump. Other guys in the boat have beer and nets, you try to get as many in your boat as possible. It's crazy to watch, like a lacrosse game with huge leaping fish. And seriously, they jump out of the river by the hundreds.
I'm sure someone has seen these videos on youtube, it was in the news a few weeks back. Apparently it's pretty dangerous, one of these fish can easily jump up and hit you in the face going 30mph down the river.
you know what hurts? 5lbs of fishmeat at 30mph. at least so says billy-bob, the guy with the black eye they interviewed afterwards.
But....they get more of them out than i do, so maybe i shouldn't judge.
