I received an email through Howard Tanner and John Hesse earlier today about a "Dirty Jobs" episode shot in Mich about Sea Lamprey.

Excerpt -
ANN ARBOR, MI—Sea lamprey control is a “dirty job,” one that TV star Mike Rowe will take on during an upcoming episode of the Discovery Channel’s popular program Dirty Jobs. The segment will first air on November 2, 2010 at 9:00 EST/8:00 CST....”Sea lamprey populations have dropped by 90% in many areas of the Great Lakes, allowing for the restoration of the Great Lakes ecosystem and contributing to the $7 billion in economic return that the fishery brings each year to the region,” said Dr. Michael Hansen, the (Great Lakes Fish) commission’s chair

None of us would be catching Pacific salmon w/ our Whalers if lamprey control wasn't figured out.

I sent the press release to Jim and Jeff - perhaps they can post the official announcement.
