Thanks for watching, man!

Thanks, man!

Thank you!

Thanks! And it's actually a lot better in the winter than the summer due to it being really deep.

Thanks man! Wish they would be there every time I hit that bridge up but usually its just the carp

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, Mitch!

Thats a dang good spot!

Yeah, they were aggressive for this trip! Yall didn't see the other 3 times I went to that bridge this winter and caught nothing lol. Hopefully some scientist will create a disease that only affects silver carp or something. I don't see any other way than that.

@@EngineeringHooksets I guess it goes to show that if you find a place you think is promising you should stick with it and eventually it might pan out. I work as a research scientist doing gene editing during my day job. I need to convince my peeps that it would be a worth while R&D project to explore introducing sterility or some other toxic gene into the population. I know others are working on this but it would be fun to work on a project related to fishing. I think this would severely hurt 618 Fishing's videos however because he catches a lot of Asian carp!

@@BackroadsAngling Wow, that's really cool! Hundreds of millions are being spent to keep Asian carp from the Great lakes, you guys could get rich off that! How would you spread sterility through the population if the "infected" ones cant reproduce? And I laughed out loud at the 618 comment. In reality though I think it would probably help his videos. Asain carp makeup over 90% of the biomass in a lot of Illinois rivers and that would be replaced by native species.

@@EngineeringHooksets There is a technique used in mosquitoes where they release sterile males into the environment to mate with the females. The eggs that are laid aren't viable. If you release enough sterile males to out compete the healthy males then most females lay non-viable eggs and the population crashes. They have started using this in places where Zika virus is at its worst. I think the same technique could be used for Asian carp if it isn't already. Also if you could find something that Asian carp eat but nothing else will then you would hit the jackpot. You could engineer a poison that only the carp would eat. This one would be tricky and you would have to be really careful to ensure that you are not getting any collateral damage.

Thank you for watching!

Thanks! Do you mean when I got the snag free? You just kind of pop your line and let it go slack, sometimes it frees your hook.

Thanks! I'm hoping to move to TN one day

Haha I think only like 4 or 5

Thanks for the view, Dan!

I usually just cut their gills and toss them back in the river

@@EngineeringHooksets ok

I made a small dent

me and my dad cant catch anything:(

straight 15lb braid. I dont use a leader unless its super clear

@@EngineeringHooksets Thanks

Facts

Lmao no it wasn't. Go complain somewhere else.

I would rather not say. Sorry
