Yeah, I saw that a while ago.
Very interesting. Although I would much rather see that these Asian Carp are harvested by other means...rather than gill net. I'm not sure what the catch rate is like bycatch of native species...but if jumping is the defining characteristic of Asian Carp, you could just run the boat and collect the Asian Carp as they jump into the waiting catch nets that are set up around the boat. Just envision a boat surrounded on all sides with a 5' wide margin of catch net.
.............. soon in watercourse near you.
Neat video, thanks for the share, hope they never establish in the great lakes

I can imagine after a few years of this method there won't be any jumpers anymore... lol. Then what?
