Great article. Kinda scarey though.
I've heard that those fish don't respond well to conventional rod and reel fishing. Then again, it might seem redundant trying to catch one on a rod and reel when you can just drive around in your boat in a catcher's mask and fill it up from the flying fish.
Sure hope they can get them under control. Hard to imagine the Great Lakes fishery being wiped out by Silver Carp. And if that happened how would they ultimately keep them from going nationwide. The guy with the fish market might have the best idea. I can see it now as special wide bodied harvest boats are invented with large "catching arms" extended for flying fish...
