Carping about Asian Carp (Savanna Sole)

After reading a story about some ignorant youngsters bow-fishing Asian carp in the Illinois River--with one young woman getting her jaw broken by a flying carp, I started thinking about the Asian carp problem more so than usual.

Here's the aforementioned story in Field & Stream: http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/gallery/fishing/2009/08/when-carp-attack.

There's actually an Asian carp fishery in Illinois, in Thomson, which is in the NW part of the state. Here's an NPR story about Israel putting a tariff on the carp that Schafer Fishery sells to factories in that country to produce gefilte fish:

The Atlantic has a longer, more involved and thoughtful discussion:

I say seize the carp, or Carpe Carp, and make food or whatever else you can from them. Somebody get me Obama on the horn.
