that is a boatload of fish! Shawn Price of Price Fisheries was
recently hired by the Lincoln Lakes Condo Association to come to
Lincoln and help rid the of the invasive Asian Carp that have taken
over the lakes. Price is a commercial fisher who does a lot of
environmental fishing, helping to rid the midwest of the invasive
fish that are detrimental to other fish as well as the eco-system of
the public waterways. In two days, the harvest from the lake
exceeded 17,000 pounds. The fish were sold, some for food, and
others for use in the production of fertilizer.
