Crazy Way to go Fishing

Found this video while surfing the net today. These people have combined bow hunting with fishing. The catch of the day is Silver Carp (aka Asian Jumping Carp). It is a funny video but also a serious ecological problem. From what I understand from reading on the net is that these fish were brought to the US for use on catfish farms. They were used to keep algae levels down in local ponds. They escaped to the surrounding rivers and now have spread all over the Mississippi River system. They now threaten to invade the Great Lakes.



Here is a link to CNN's report on the fish problem.
