Electric Shock Fishing

There is an invasion of Fish on the Mississippi River. That doesn't really sound like a big deal, but the fish that are infesting the river are not originally from the river. They are invaders. Asian Carp counts for approximately 9 out of 10 fish on some tributaries of the Mississippi.

Park Rangers have only one way to observe how dire the situation has gotten... they put metal wires into the water and SHOCK the fish. It's absurd how many fish are in the water and how they jump out! Take a minute or two and watch the video below. You'll be shocked (that is such a terrible, terrible pun). But, hey, anything to make fishing a little more interesting, you know?
