They should put a bounty on the carp. Like the states of Oregon & Washington did on the Squawfish/Pikeminnow. If a Squawfish is over 9" it is $4 each for the fish hundred and the bounty goes up with each hundred over that first hundred.
The various states that have the asian carp could do the same thing... and sure enough the carp will be reduced to an occasional fish instead of massive schools of them.
In the mean time if you need some extra money. Go fishing on the Columbia river for Squawfish. Any of the squawfish over 9" is worth money. My luck all the ones I catch wouldn't go over 8 an 3/4 inches.

Now would You say that is an excellent Idea? Think of the kids earning money for their school clothes & supplies that way. And so forth... Like you earning enough for that new boat you always wanted.
