Cripple Creek Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Asian carp have been called the next great sport fish. I think that they will revitalize the industry on the Great Lakes. The way they go after the baited hook is an amazing sight. 1

T&C Posted August 12, 2019 Author Posted August 12, 2019 I'm sure that Exiled will post but I watched a show on PBS on the Great Lakes the other day... like mentioned in the article, had NO idea there were that many Zebra mussels.
