I wish the powers that be would place a bounty on the heads of these fish. At $10 a head these guys would have amassed a small fortune.

It's a wonder that someone hasn't come up with a system that just vacuums em up. Seems like they'd just sit there waiting their turn for that as well.

I didn't know they vacuumed chickens, but yea they do and it's a pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO5TikjZU3c
I was thinking more along the lines of the vacuums that they use in those dredges that suck up the seabed for gold.
