This hits pretty close to home for me as I'm a transplanted Wisconsinite. I've been planning on heading home to catch some Great Lakes steelface one of these springs if I can get away from work. This is sad news for the Great Lakes fishery as a whole if Asian Carp have really made their way into the system. Granted, the Lakes have always been plagued by invasive species, ie sea lamprey - pacific salmon/steelhead are not native themselves, but if unchecked these carp could potentially wreck havoc.
