"That *would* be a fun catch on 6lb line. Most spots i go to the carp are
70-100cm+. Killing them is a civic duty.
Yes, if it was spent on rotenone to kill them."

Is cruel brutal and simply stupid. Will you take your children to a lake and
teach them "to cut their stinking heads off then let them go."?

There is a big chance carp is more native in the USA then most of you guys.
And is here to stay. Killing animals just to show off is sensless and it is
against animal crualty law. I cant believe no one said anything against "to
cut their stinking heads off then let them go." How many years must pass
until carp will become "native" according to you?

Do you also support killing other species as well which may be a threat to
bass? I heard people killing gar, pike, muskie...

I hope I will at least make you thinking.

As soon as carp become a "game fish", you can start to write off all
native fish, the damage to the water, and habitat, to native fish, that
carp cause, is well known, trying to control their numbers, by killing
every carp caught, is the only thing that helps keep them in check, some
DNR's have poisoned whole bodies of water killing everything , just to
get the carp out, then restocking native fish. When carp become a game
fish, they will start putting limits on them, and IDIOTS will start C&R
them, it won't take long, and they will become at least 80% of a body of
water's fish bio-mass. actually they are doing this now, with no
protection. This is a "PROVEN" FACT !!!!!!!!!!!

We have the same problem here with spotty carp, AKA trout, which are about
the only large fish left in upland waterways. The original inhabitants
have been outstocked, then outbred by trout.
Suggestions of making some streams trout-free to give natives a chance is
met by howls of derision. I hope the same situation never occurs with
carp.

Another solution, is there becoming a commercial market for them, netting
them in huge numbers.

They actually make good fertiliser and are caught with this purpose in
mind in some places.
Netting is largely out of the question due to greenie policies.
