Asian Carp minnows

[LongLine]

FWIW

Lot of people talking about the big asian carp & I didn’t know what a little one looks like so did some checking. Here’s a Michigan comparison to some common minnows. (takes a few seconds to download & don’t ask me why the 1st page is upside down)

Found this more interesting from the people that have the big time infestation: (& much faster to download)

For anyone not wanting to download stuff:

One’s a gizzard shad & the other an asian carp. Bodies very similar but snout & eye quite different. (upper is a shad)

Do the western lakes have them? I heard rumors but I didn't know it was confirmed? This is horrible news...
