A participant who identifies himself as “Long Hair” catches a carp with a scoop net on the Illinois River during the Redneck Fishing Tournament Friday, Aug. 4, 2023, near Bath, Ill. The annual tournament to catch invasive carp was founded by Betty DeFord in 2005. DeFord’s goal was to encourage netting and removing the fish and raise funds to help veterans. (John J.
