Just another reason to move to Florida for me.
But the sake of those who fish up here - good luck!

Probably too late, some 8 years ago now, we used to see these in Port
Washington and Kenosha docks. Not quite as big as this, but add 8 years
and it could easily be one of the ones we saw. Even saw people shore
them and they were certainly carp.

When we took our houseboat through the Chain of Rocks canal above St.
Louis, the Asian Carp were jumping behind their boat as we were moving
through the lock, at times up to 6' above the water. I was able to
catch a couple holding a dip net over the water behind the boat. We
had a v-bottom aluminum boat in tow behind the houseboat, and when we
reached the Chain of Rocks lock, we took time to throw the carp that
had trapped themselves in it out of the boat. A big carp can take a
person out of a small boat, and it has happened (especially on the
Illinois river).
