People on Kentucky's lakes and rivers are getting a nasty shock that's only going to get worse: 70-pound fish that leap out of the water and pummel them. Or flop around on a boat, spreading bloody slime.

Escaped Asian carp, originally brought to the United States to eat algae in aquaculture ponds and wastewater treatment plants, have migrated from the Mississippi River well into Kentucky's waterways and are showing up where they are least wanted, said Ron Brooks, fisheries director for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife.

"A fisherman called me recently and said he saw a 21/2-mile-wide school in Kentucky Lake," Brooks said. And Lake Barkley's Asian carp population is already becoming "ridiculously over-populated," he said.

"It's a nightmare, it really is. Not just for fishing but for tourism," said Ronny Hopkins, a commercial fisherman from Ledbetter who fishes Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley in Western Kentucky. Hopkins said he has caught 36,000 pounds of carp in six hours.
