Redneck Fishing Tournament Bath Ill

[MoSportsmen]

Had a blast this weekend at the 8th annual Bath Ill. Redneck Fishing tournament. In four separate heats the tournament cleaned out almost 8,000 asian carp from one little 7 mile streatch of the Illinois. Wild time. Sad to see all this fish flesh to go to fertilizer but at least these won't be breeding anymore.

We need to find a good commercial market for these fish or there is no way we will ever keep them under control.

It was quit a time, something to put on your bucket list.

Final numbers came in and the total counted was 10,600. There were probably more than that I know we caught 8 between tournaments that were probably not counted and there were others out that were not registered in the tournaments. Unbelieveable how many of these fish are in our rivers.
