Voracious, 100 lb. Asian Bighead carp are working their way up the Illinois river and into the Chicago canal, knocking at the gates of Lake Michigan. These exotic fish farm ecapees consume two to three times their weight in plankton daily, wreaking havoc at the bottom of the food chain and, ultimately, thoughout the aquatic ecosystem. Who will save our beloved salmon, trout, perch, and bass fisheries?
Perhaps Carp Protein Products of Havana, Illinois. Go get 'em, boys.
