And I feel that I should be able to boat in my river without me, my family, my dog, and my boat getting covered in slime. Especially by a fish that simply doesn't belong here, and could make a HUGE impact to the food chain and eco system. You can have BIG fish just jumping in your boat all day.

If you haven't experienced this invasive specie, you have no idea of the hassle they provide. People get black eyes and broken noses all the time, and I've heard of worse injuries. Look on youtube for "flying Carp" "Silver Carp" or "bowfishing" and you'll see plenty.

While I'm no heartless person, I have no qualms about killing these vermin by any means possible. Even the DNR guys say that these fish are better in a dump, or used a fertilizer, than in the water.
