GET IN THE BOAT of the Day: A school of Asian carp “attack” a father-sons fishing trip off a freshly flooded Spoon River.

[laughingsquid.]

I am the first to admit it’s hilarious to watch Asian Carp, or silver carp as our variety surely is, jump on people as they ride by.  I even start my unit on non-native species by showing the students a video in which the carp do just that.  Even so, it’s a hugely real possibility that these obnoxious invaders have already reached the Great Lakes by way of the Chicago River and other parts of the midwest waterways.  The Army Corps of Engineers is conducting studies on the best way to deter the fish from entering the area but these studies may already be of no use.  The carp will decimate local food chains and could also destroy the fishing and tourism industries in Michigan.  Would you drive up to a cabin on Lake Michigan if every time you turned on your boat, 20 lbs. fish could whack you in the head?
