- Just outside of Romeoville, Illinois, is maybe the only stretch of water in the entire United States where if you were to fall in, the U.S. coast guard will not attempt to save you. The reason why...is completely invisible.

Worst thing about Asian carp is they evolve into Gyarados
No because their is no waterfalls in Illinois so they can't swim up any to evolve

Uh yeah literally. The particulates like sand and dirt in the water can be, but water itself cannot be irradiated. Why do you think its safe to swim in the big cooling tanks they use at reactors? Provided you don't dive too deep.
Radioactive Kamikaze fish, if they swim too close to 3-mile Island.... đ€·đ»
here in the Midwest the Asian carp often have kill on sight orders for fisherman. In many places it's actually illegal to catch and release them. At least here in Nebraska, we have a bloodlust for Asian carp.
It's the same in Australia, but we've got European Carp in plague proportions, they must be killed and not returned to the waters.
that sounds oddly erotic.
Same here in Michigan
We here in Illinois and Michigan thank you for your bloodlust!
How many have you consumed yourself?

I live in Northern Illinois and they're really trying to change the name of the fish to "Silverfin" in an attempt to hopefully attract eaters. People hear "carp" and they think "trash fish" but I had a taco made with one and it was just as good as any other fish taco I've had. It's boney so things like tacos, burgers, anything ground really.
And renaming a fish to make it more commercial has worked before: Orange Roughy was renamed from "Pacific smilehead" and Chilean Sea Bass, which sells for freaking $30/lb, was the Patagonian toothfish.
In fact it worked *so* well for the Chilean Sea Bass that poaching has nearly collapsed fisheries several times. Which if it happens to the Silverfin...I'd be fine with that.
@Mike Grill I didn't even know it was legal to hunt those.
That's quite fascinating hahaha. Thanks for sharing!
@@realzachfluke1 np. Let's cheers over a silverfin taco lol
I didnt not realize you could eat carp
You're right. Years ago in Scotland they started smoking fish and smoked herring just wasn't selling well.
They called it kipper and voila instant success.
I love how man kind is so good making animals go extinct but the ones that are invasive are like the most impossible thing to get rid of
Kill the ones that belong, usher in the ones that do not. Perfectly imbalanced, as all things should be.
-Humans
"We could start eating them" - theyre actually quite bony, and because they are bottom feeders, there actually quite un-tasty. Source - have eaten. Would not suggest.

I live in Peoria, IL. That's about 2.5 hours south of Chicago (we measure distance in time here, lol) We call those fish 'flying carp.' I've seen people just cruising along the river, having to toss fish out of their boats because they jump into them. I've also heard of someone getting their nose broken when one jumped and they collided.
From the Navajo reservation we measured distance in time too, ABQ from Gallup is a 2 hour drive 40 min if your booking it, and Gallup to Farmington about an 1 hour drive 1.5 if your slow
the more of Kyle's videos I watch, the more I realize how awesome and relatable he is. when he picked up his cat and said, "and we love them more than any human," with a serious face, I was like, "wow, this man gets me"

Reminds me of the time I was relocating an aquarium and kept feeling a weird zap on my wrist. I assumed it was nerve pain at first but after putting my hand out and back in the water I realised it was actually a shock from the filter pump I was using (had exposed wires on closer inspection).
Needless to say once it was removed the fish suddenly became harder to catch đ
Tasty aquarium fish. How did you prepare yours?
I run external filters and heaters for the reason you stated. I donât fancy 240v pulsing through my body when doing tank maintenance.
@@PatrickSwayzeOnDbol yup I have everything external now.
Easier to maintain and no chance of shocks
5:20 Tortoiseshell Calicos are my absolute favorite.
That aside, I would propose a automated remote tactile transducer or even something as simple as a vibration motor that would be remotely and/or scheduled to activate after a large bin/netting/capture basin retracts. Then as it activates it would be anchored to the riverbed on shock mounts and move itself up and down a shaft from max depth to almost surface. Also as it activates, pnumatic solenoids extend the bin to catch the flailing carp.
Another idea would be to drop small vibrating and eccentric objects from drones and account for the speed of the river to try and catch the fish after they jump into a downriver bin.
Both ideas would only need remote timing and control and would not require onsite humans to minimise risk.
I must admit, when I saw this episode title, I assumed the water was obscenely toxic from chemical dumping. Electrocution Water, however. That may be worse.
Same here, I thought you instantly melt into a skeleton or something
I mean, you used to be able to set some rivers in the US on fire due to the polution so that's not an unreasonable guess.
Agreed. I thought it was something like that too.
I honestly thought it was in Ohio or West Virginia
Kyle: We could start overfishing and eating them, but I feel like the demand wouldn't meet their reproduction
America: is that a challenge?
The Asian carp is a incredibly bony fish, it's complete pain in the ass to fillet.
It was, but the challenge wasn't met. Most states with waters in the Mississippi system have made desperate attempts to destroy these fish both with laws banning anyone who catches one from releasing it, so-called "kill on sight" orders, encouraging massive fishing of them, bowfishing (the bow and arrow thing he mentioned), shooting them (it doesn't work and is stupidly dangerous, but people tried it), and pushing recipes for them to encourage people to eat them.
Yea never underestimate the environmental destructive powers of Humans. I personally think its very possible to destroy this fish's population by simply eating them.
@@ChIGuY-town22_ I hate bony fish.
I mean the fishing and eating sounds reasonable... are they just not tasty ebough or are they more expensive to fish/sell than other options?

In the XKCD book What If, the answer to âcan I swim in a nuclear reactor?â Was answered both yes and no. Yes, itâs safe enough from radiation, but no youâd be dead in seconds from the gunshot wounds. So, thatâs maybe a different definition of unsafe water.

Apparently, when my uncle was helping build Fukushima (yes, I know) They had divers working in the reactor pool. They only got paid $10 an hour!
Yes, the reactor rods were in at that point!

This actually happened to me. I was riding jet skis with my grandpa and some friends out in the Mississippi and one jumped up and hit me in the face. It broke my nose and knocked me out. My dad had to dive in and rescue me.
In Asia where there are lots of waterfalls, those carps need to jump in order to lay eggs at the source or beginning of the rivers. That skill set goes wrong here. Sorry to hear your nose get broken.
I'm glad about your nose.
Sick story dude
Lmfao I'm sorry but pain is hilarious xD
I had the same thing happen! I was tubing on a midwestern lake and got slapped in the face by one
i like how well this is presented aswell as all his other stuff. You will always learn something on this stuff
8:30 Yeah I saw that Xenomorph infant reference. Very cool my guy, great work once again
Your discussion of the invasive species of the domestic cat gave me an idea to counter the ânot enough demand to overfishâ situation. Commercial cat food. Fish-flavored cat food is very common. And feeding domestic cats (and dogs) goes through a lot of meat. Introduce asian carp into cat food. Feed one invasive species with another
Indeed. Fertilizer, bait, dog and cat and fish food, glue,
It doesnât work. The carp were introduced into the largest river in Australia, nothing worked, the river is essentially dead now. Theyâre unstoppable like onion weed
Part of the issue is keeping an invasive animal fed results in many healthy offspring (although introducing birth control to the food would help) a whole lot of fish would kill a common cat.
I did my college thesis on when an invasive species crosses the line to become an important part of an ecosystem and therefore "native"..... Pissed a lot of people off.... đ€·đŒââïž
"not enough demand to overfish" how about the fact that the fish we currently eat are dying out?
@@Raooka I was thinking that these fish would be a great source of food for places such as zoos, sea-world type places and alligator farm type places. While some would need specific fish but for many others it wouldn't matter.
Just a thought.
being from michigan like
"do you know this fish?"
me: "yeah thats my arch nemesis"
How does it affect regular folks in everyday life?
@@Mdautkreix basically the lakes are a huge industry for everything from food to tourists to hobbiests. We rely on the lakes and rivers for huge amounts of our economy. All the small fishing businesses, bait shops, guides, they'd all die first
@@Emily-ye1rj Thank you for explaining this!!
@@Mdautkreix it's a huge deal to us.
@@Mdautkreix especially in Northern Wisconsin and Michigan, tourism is the lifeblood of many small towns, and if the lakes (not just the great lakes, but the smaller, local ones as well) get Asian carp in them, most of the tourism dries up, too. It's a genuinely existential problem for these communities.
love the call back to dangerous thought experiments. have you done a video on the "lake" that birds die from landing in yet?
So happy i found this channel ! Much love from Canada đšđŠ
âelectrical current doesnât hurt fish, just make them uncomfy.â
Me: oh ok
âIt kill human thoâ
Me: :( ?
It's strange though isn't it, the fish is stronger than us humans.
Fish 1 - 0 Humans
In actuality, if you drop the carp into the high voltage sections of the barrier they'll get crispy basically. It's just that the carp will sense the electric barrier before they get close, which will compel them to turn back. And if they don't turn back, well, crispy fish it is.
The water conducts and dissipates the power. But when you get enough you are screwed.
Why canât we move the electrodes to coral the fish?
@@StrikeNoir105E mmmhhh crispy fish đ
Also the fish doesn't drown in the water like the hooman would.

I work at Lewis...when he started that intro I was like oh shit....
"We could start overfishing and eating them, but I feel like the demand wouldn't meet their reproduction"
That. Actually sounds like a great thing. We can just fish like crazy and if we don't wipe them out it puts less pressure on other species which we are currently overfishing. And if we do wipe them out then we got rid of an invasive species.
If I remember correctly a couple states actually have fishing tournaments to see who can bring in the most of these. Perhaps they also have free-for-all days in an attempt to curb their numbers.
Why not overfish them and feed all the homesless?
Agreed. Humans are great at over harvesting food sources. We rule!
They are not edible fish, they taste horrible and eat pond scum, not something u want to eat
i guess they are at best borderline edible... probably they taste really gross or are extremely bony, or else there wouldn't be a problem with the "demand".
Reasons to keep your cat inside:
-Longer lifespan for your cat (outdoor cats average 2-5yrs, indoor cats can live to be over 15)
-They cause insurmountable damage to ecosystems (domestic cats kill more birds than wind turbines)
-They can easily contract toxoplasmosis, the effects of which are grossly under-researched in humans; and it can also cause livetsock animals to miscarry (if your farm has a rodent problem, setting up nesting spaces for owls will help out a hell of a lot more)
If your cat screams and wails and destroys things if you don't let her outside, play with her! harness train her to take her on walks! give her supervised outdoor time! if you can't entertain an animal that sleeps for roughly 18 hours a day, maybe don't have one.
Very interesting and informative series of videos. Thank You.
"I'm also on a watch list now."

Now?
Kyle's "naughty" list is so long it's in a state of constant buffer overflow.
Seriously, why can't I order that in restaurants? I'd feel a lot less guilty eating an invasive species.

There's no way to mass produce the fish because its a bony fish
@@Skinfaxi fire

I'm a vegetarian but I'd be open to eating invasive species since they aren't subject to factory farming, and eating them would help the environment. They hold a lionfish fishing tournament in my area each year and I'd really like to go.

Funny stuff, Kyle! Keep it up, love your channel!
"This will kill humans. It will deter carp."
Yikes.
Although, I do wonder if I could take advantage of their jumping behaviour to capture them en masse.
Fun fact, that's being experimented with now. Boats driving around with big fish nets sticking up behind them so anything that jumps into the air is caught.
Do keep in mind the sheer mass and force involved with these giant fish
They destroy nets and even metal hulls, then you have to drag the bodies as they're flopping about
@@aubreyackermann8432 So it sounds like the solution is KILLER ELECTRIC NETS!!! Pump enough juice into them and you can fry them so the workers and snack while they work!
There is a contest some where in the US where people try to actually capture them, crazy given the facts presented by Kyle.
like bears catching salmon
Haha, this is really great! Glad you've got so many views -- hope it translates to big bucks!
This barrier has been proven ineffective, the electric field dissipates and takes time to build up again after a boat or even a large school of the carp.

Asian carp: 3 feet long and 88 pounds
Arapaima: 10 feet long and 440 pounds
One is in the midwest one is in Florida, both can jump out of the water and potentially hit you...
Why do fish need to be so big ???
@@rosehoundd6842 to hit you harder when they jump out of the water
But one is a lot less common than the other
the diference is that the pirarucu, or arapaima hits you on purpose, so you fuck off and stop bothering him. also the fish is built like a rhino and hits like a ram even if you are not in a boat. very very tasty though, we breed them for food here in brazil, very expensive fish. also the scales make good cheap jewelry
arapaima do not just jump out the river randomly when they hear engine noise lol, they avoid people, they only "jump" or tail whip you if you try pull the bastard out of the water.

Actually, Magikarp draws inspiration from these carps, saying that an old enough Magikarp can leap over mountains. Ironically, despite being inspired by an animal capable of exerting 16000 N of force, Magikarp is virtually harmless, unlike its real-life counterpart.
Good thing these carps don't evolve

â@@djmouton251 But if they evolved, they at least got double electric weakness, making the barrier, well, "super effective".

Safety Concern:
Electrolysis of water does produce oxygen and hydrogen. However, saltwater will produce chlorine. This should have been mentioned as a brief safety reminder. Though it's small in amount, it's the principal that matters.
I don't watch these videos for safety advice. If i want chlorine in my knallgas by zeus i'm getting it!
That same river is right behind where some relatives live. I remember them telling me when they were younger that refinery exploded and blew out all the windows in the homes nearby

@@phoenixfritzinger9185 True, but Kyle did episodes in the Demon Core and the Elephants Foot, the former was melted down decades ago and the later nobody has seen up close since the 90s.
If weâre talking about deadly bodies of water, let me tell you about the dread I feel when I think of the Bolton Strid. While the water itself doesnât have any properties such as being electrified or radioactive, it is deadly.
Do not let the photos of it fall you, it is not an idyllic stream. In reality, it is a river forced onto its side that is believed to not have had a single person survive falling in. If you fall in then thatâs it for you. The Bolton Strid will be your grave as the currents drag you down into the hidden caverns below, obliterating you against the rocks along the way.

Mass extinction. The one thing we are surprisingly good at, barring maybe not dying to said mass extinction yet.

@@samuraisharkie The problem is precise mass extinction. Wiping out a species is easy. NOT wiping out all the OTHER species that live in the same habitats, eat the same things, sleep in the same dens, etc. is hard.

Iâm from the Chicago area and Iâve had the opportunity to try an Asian carp. Those fish are completely inedible
I grew up in Lockport, IL and we always drove past it without a second thought lmao.

I appreciate that this video went straight from "oOh I felt tingly!!" to a full-blown existential crisis
You clearly have no idea what an existential crisis is.
Iâve gone through the barrier in will county 1,000 times as a towboater⊠we have to remain inside the boat while we go through it along with making sure the boat is grounded to the barges before we go through it⊠.. the barrier only supposedly moved the carp 30 miles south⊠theyâre talking about putting another barrier about 10 miles farther south around Brandon roads lock and dam in Joliet
For the record unless you live *IN* the city of Chicago, no one else in Illinois sounds like that. For a Chicago accent though, you nailed it.

Everyone: but they're soooooo cuuuuute *picks up and kisses their fuzzy head*
We HAD some feral cats when I moved into my neighborhood. The city encourages feeding them and trying to bring into the local shelter once a year for vaccinations. Bullshit. I use a living trap to capture them then liberate them from their useless situations.
@@indy_go_blue6048 cool
I live kissing my cat and sometimes rubbing my face against his he loves that most of the time lol sometimes he doesn't wanna be bothered like any other cat.
Well what can we do, it's there damn instinct!
@@indy_go_blue6048 Shows what you know. Stable cat colonies discourages outsider cats from moving into an area, actually reducing feral cat populations. Thatâs why the city wants the cat colony taken care of.
Hey I live in Romeoville itâs good to hear my home town be mentioned

Here in Michigan we spend a good chunk of time in school classes teaching the kids about Asian Carp and invasive species, those guys are deeply hated here.
And eaten literally everywhere else in the world
@@matthoward7645 really? I always heard that they tasted not so good so we canât eat them. Thatâs cool, I didnât know that!
@@badassitudepostergirl4229 ye there bony and you gotta bleed em like catfish, but literally I think USA and Australia don't well its not that popular down oz but ye it's kosher and ashkenazis use it there's stews and loads of dishes throughout Europe and most carp are eaten in Asian countries, it shouldn't of been introduced to the US tbh
That little experiment you showed reminds me of a demonstration my professor showed us back in general biology to show that ions allow for current within water. It was slightly more complex, but still! Nice memories.
Also heh, those accents definitely gave me a chuckle.
time to throw Donald Trump and his supporters into the RED areas of this artificially electrified river
You got my sub because of your love for your cat.
Ayeeee I grew up 10-15 mins away from romeoville we used to catch and kill carp all the time

Asian carp: "Fine I'll do it myself"
I wasn't exactly sure where they had the electrical wires in the canal, but him saying Romeo Road means it is literally down the street (probably about 3 or 4 miles) from my middle school.
I remember going to Lincoln Park near the water for pokemon go fest 2019 and seeing giant fish jump high out of the water, now I know what fish it was, the Asian carp is massive. Many people were fishing that day.
