The Illinois Department of Natural Resources continues its battle against with the invasive species of black carp by launching a new initiative.
Called the “Keep Cool, Call” program individuals can earn $100 for each black carp they capture, with a maximum reward of $1,000 per month.
In order to recieve the reward individuals must take clear photos of the fish’s head, mouth, and total length, note the location and water conditions, humanely kill the fish, and freeze it. Possession of live invasive carp is illegal.
