I've seen several stories on the plague of asian carp in local rivers. Not only do they out-compete indigenous species, they also have the alarming habit of going airborn when startled, with numerous collisions between boaters and large fish reported.

You laugh but try waterskiing when the river's low. I tolerate the idea that there are fish in the same water that I'm in because we've come to an understanding. Leave me alone and I won't bother you either. Being pelted by flying carp disturbed by the boat's passage violates that tacit agreement.

I could totally get behind an initiative to rid our waterways of these exotic pests, up to and including offering a per pound bounty, even if the fish are ultimately used only as pet food or fertilizer.
