War On Carp

One of the biggest threats to our freshwater fisheries in the Southeast and parts of the Midwest is the Asian Carp. These invasive species are detrimental to our lakes and rivers and create unsafe conditions for boaters everywhere.

Why not make an industry out of this? That’s a ton of food.

Actually got to talk to one of the guys in this video recently, Lake Barkley was terrible and still you see carp but it seems to be slowly coming back, this needs more funding .

A u net around the boat but above the water with a spindle to v delivery into the center of the boat catch and tip!!

In the USA not many people ear carp. Id turn then into fertilizer.

Can they really stop the type of fish from the rivers ?

My hope is one day I will figure out how to catch them from the bank. I have heard that while it is a lot of work, they are a good eating fish.

I have a thought that if portable speakers can be made that are fully waterproof, it might help catch some of them. Both to kill and to turn into food. Especially in the rivers. If one can force them to bank themselves, it could be a huge game changer in helping solve this issue so thank bank fisherman can do their part to help as well.

Because it is difficult as hell to catch carp in a river like The Wabash River or Ohio River or probably in the great lakes if you aren't in a boat and don't have a casting net. Same for the Mississippi. I think one has to go after the Carp with subsidies until there are no more Asian Carp. So that Bass, Trout, Bluegill, Crappie, Catfish, Redear, Pike, Muskie and any other fish have a chance to live.

Turn it into cat food. Have McDonald's or Burger King make this into a sandwich. Anything that can't be processed into something useful for people or animals, turn into fertilizer.

Yes, the lakes have to be recovered. Absolutely. Especially if they butt up to a river or creek.

We also need to make it easier for people to catch them individually.

The more encouragement people have to catch them and eat them, the better chance of getting rid of this menace forever in 5 or 10 or 15 years.

Because I have had Zero luck bank fishing for anything because of the Carp on the river.

As stated, I will never own a boat and can't even find cast nets in my area. (Not that I would probably have that much luck with it).

I still want to do my part, however small it is.

Half of Africa: we have no Food, we Are dying
Americans: Fish everywhere, what a tragedy! WE only eat hamburgers

Wouldn't have this problem if people learned how to prepare them and how to properly eat fish like 90% of the rest of the world also their great when you pickle them as well. I eat them regularly, filet it, medium high heat butter olive oil and spice of your choice 3 minutes each side, enjoy a great tasting fish.

As soon as people let up on these fish for a month or two gour problem is back.

[dandennison]

Hero, what about the 27 zillion that don't get in the net ??? Money can't fix this 😮

[TheEvilTwinCG]

Why not sell it to the Cambodians? Those Asians eat anything in the water. Carp is their favorite fish.

[parinas]

We need that fish here in the Philippines. We need that fish for feeding for our crabs & livestock

[setapak]

Funny! US government more scary with fish from the river than junk food😂

[trray]

Why don't they sell these Asian carp fish in Chinatowns in the entire USA and Canada? Sell to Mexico. This fish is #1 delicious fish food and popular fish food in Asia and all Asian communities. These fishes are revenue for the city if we know it and do business through proper channels. Wake up!!!

[larrybyrnes]

Get a hell of a workout snagging them.

[markanthony]

Stop all kinds of "invasive species", if you know what I mean.

[charleshamilton]

I want to raise another specie of tasty fish by feeding them these carp. Ill need 50000 lbs. A year. How much? 7542684973. Ill use a new wood chipper and mascerate them and cook with rice for fish food.

This is a ecological disaster and not one program with some serious money behind it.
Every water shed in the Midwest is destroyed because of these fish..
