Maybe they'll eat all the lampreys. And the zebra mussels.

Thanks. Too bad the damn hotlink got zapped. =(

penis goes there

Local headline was something like "Cox brings Asian carp suit to Supreme Court." I thought, "Boy, wearing that suit must look weird and smell worse."

Not Mike Cox, nossir.

Suck Mike Cox.

I do say, "nice work old chap." Well done. And in one even. Good heavens.

/LOL !!!! His name is Mike!

I went to school with a guy named Mike Hawk

Is it really sideways

That's no Asian carp, the eyes are too round

This is why you don't car pool with Asians.

The government needs to do one of two things:

1) Put a $50 bounty on every Asian carp caught in the Mississippi River system and let the fishermen go to task

2) Poison the entire system several times over, then re-release native species held in captivity back into the system

When I worked at a local power plant for a while, I was told that they didn't make any real effort to return fish caught in the cooling intake because they'd get fined for returning most of them as it was "littering".

/at least an attempt is being made to stop this one

I do know a poor schmuck named Michael Hunt. He's 53 years old and truly hates his parents.

/quick and dirty

Pleased as peaches when I got the email. Me and Cox don't see eye to eye on anything. This might be the first and only issue.

Asian carp seriously need to stay out. Zebra mussels and lampreys have caused problems, but if asian carp get in and established they will be the *only* fish in the great lakes.

First thing that popped into my mind when I saw that silly fish:

I think they prefer the term "Chinese Fish".

Something something subby's mom.

Say goodbye to salmon and trout fishing in the great lakes. The foot dragging idiots will have there way and the great lakes will be the worlds largest carp pool. Way to go idiots.
They have had at least 4 or 5 years to figure out a method to prevent this from happening and even now when the reaper is at the door they still won't do anything. Just incredible. Not only will this totally destroy commercial and sport fishing in the great lakes but darn things leap out of water when frighted posing a hazard to recreational water craft users as well. Good luck water skiing through that.

This is subject rife with humor, but a carp invasion would be an environmental disaster.

These farkers eat everything in sight and literally breed to the point of clogging waterways. Once they take over a lake, there is nothing left but carp and carp shiat.

/one-time Great Lakes resident
//saw the carp destruction first-hand in Ill

Came for the Cox jokes.
Left marginally satisfied, but wanting more.

While carp have infested every major waterway in North America, this type of carp is especially devastating. They can consume more than their weight in plankton per day. Plankton is what smaller organisms need to eat to survive/grow. All that would be left are fish who jump out of the water every time a boat is near, possibly injuring said boaters.

Can those things live through a Canadian winter?

Won't work.

All it will take is for some asshole to load up a couple coolers full of these fish and stock the lakes himself.

Happens all the time.

/Guy gets a ticket from the game and fish warden and later "gets even with the man".

This is the only worthwhile thing he has done as AG.

Too bad Chicago has the pull in Washington, this will go nowhere and the largest body of fresh water on the planet will end up totally farked.

This is entirely appropriate.

(4) Poison the EPA and ACE offices and let the state close off the rivers.

Like most Farkers, I'm not usually judgmental, but holy shiat that is one ugly fish.

skaetur: /LOL !!!! His name is Mike!

If my parents had cursed me with a name like Mike Cox, the first thing I would do on my 18th birthday would be to legally change my name to something less embarrassing, like Dick Cox.

$50 bucks? Ha, I catch em for fun. Those biatches pull hard. Its a lot of fun fighting them. Give me a buck or two a fish and I'd quit my day job.

My wife and I paddled 2000 miles down the Mississippi River in 2005. We saw these damn things all the way down below Minneapolis. I'd be fine with putting a bounty on every one of this demon fish. They're doing a hell of a number on the entire Mississippi and Missouri river system.

is his cousin mike hunt?

gravy chugging cretin.: whatshisname: I went to school with a guy named Mike Hawk

I do know a poor schmuck named Michael Hunt. He's 53 years old and truly hates his parents.

Best friend from 3rd grade was named Mike Hunt. What's even worse was his father was named Howard Hunt and this was at the height of Watergate. Then my folks moved to California. Last I heard he was a pilot.

/cool story bro

Can you eat them?
Can you make them into pet food?
GO GO Free Market!

The carp can fark the lakes' shiat up. And closing the canals is like closing I-80 to all truck traffic.

This is a lose-lose situation.
