Shocking Stuff! Electrofishing Used to Combat Invasive Carp Species in Kentucky

Asian carp have been plaguing Kentucky waterways, prompting state officials to use electrofishing.

By shooting an electric current through the water at the Barkley Dam fish were seen jolted out of the water and into nets.

I think more fish jumped in the boat than they caught in their nets

[sdushdiu]

I'm amazed at the density of the fish....

Long on electricity, short on catching skills.

They need way more boats and people with bigger nets.

they are like mouslims in aquatic life

One advice America, just bring in 5 hungry brown bears and see the population dwindle. I stand corrected though.

is it me... or... like... why is anyone using nets? Why don't they just have like extendable nets or catch basins that can extend off the boat? The boat just needs to be a vessel to dump thousands of pounds of fish. The fish should be caught in something extendable that can dump into the boat easy... Still... got hundreds of pounds of fish in a few seconds...

This is ridiculous and torture on aquatic life. Shame on you people, and just image if someone give you a torture like this or boil you in electrified water.
