GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:

Those fish aren't dead, just stunned. It's a common method of sampling living populations. One way to make a species extinct in a hurry is to make it valuable. Asian carp are absolutely delicious. As soon as Americans realise that the carp
will be in trouble.

How was ur first day on the job?
Me: I quit

[stoneyll]

Asian carp are good to eat, they are just sort of hard to fillet, (bones)

Stunned? I'm thinking electrocuted. Look at the pile of floating, lifeless fish in front of the boat when most of the chaos stops. Idk this is a little FISHY to me. What do y'all think? Am I seeing this all wrong?

[thehornedone]

I grew up fishing this lake. It's so sad to see how bad the invasive carp have become.

[JustMe]

These fish are devastating the lake. I dont know if it could be done but they need to be eradicated.

Rename Asian Carp and call it:

CARPAREAU (carp-uh-row). "Reau" in french means dancing on water.

Silverfin Carpareau, Grass Carpareau, etc.

-Carpareau fillets -Carpareau burger patties
-Carpareau sausage
-Smoked Carpareau
-Carpareau drieds (dried fish).
-Baked Carpareau
-Fried Carpareau

CARPAREAU name fits!

I'm not a fish expert, but why in the end of video are the fish belly up?

[workingbselfsufficient]

To many got away need to up the voltage.

[rouhani]

The sound that engine produced is so painful to them, thats why they decided to leave the water

[allaccessshogun]

“ I think we’re going to need a bigger boat..”

[destineymaxwell]

There isn’t a fishery here at Kentucky Lake now because of Asian Carp. Nor can you enjoy recreational boating because of the sliver carp jumping and hitting occupants on skies or in the boat. Special Thanks to the one that had the grand idea of bringing these things to America.

[scorpioqueen]

What did they put in that water to make them jump like that

[salmonline]

So, what you're saying is: Regulation is good. Got it.

[seanhall]

Kentucky lake was the best fishing in the Midwest glad I got to fish it before this happened. It's sad really.

[jackchen]

Please take lots of videos of the living giant monster bighead carp ang grass carp fish

[freda]

Will they at least be processed for animal food?

[tyronewilliams]

Looks like shoveling snow with a spoon. They need a bigger net and boat.

Id say its time to do some DEPTH CHARGE fishing! with a case of tnt!
