Seems they don't have an answer how to slow this invasive species down,I'm thinking a shotgun would be way more fun.

Nothing funny about Asian Carp.
But I did chuckle at the guy getting a face full.

Man what a stupid fish. I'd sure be pissed off if one of those things hammered me in the face though..

Would be something to see, for sure.

I've got to guess that if you were truckin' fast enough, knock you out of the boat - it would.

they be literally jumping in da boat

I cringe every time I see them. They need to eradicate those things ASAP.

Would slow the jet ski traffic around Bismarck in the heat of the summer, that's for sure..

Man that is sad. I think there is a company now catching the carp and selling to China. Zimmern claimed they are tasty but I believe his taste buds to be warped.

Impossible at this point they like their common carp cousin are here to stay. Hopefully they can keep them out of the great Lakes but that's a long shot at best.

Maybe the Indians can target these in the netting fiasco their customs allow?

I've never seen one in ND.. are they here?

Bad deal forsure,I read they spawn twice/year and they're cousin the big mouth carp reach 100lbs,I've shot common carp up to 55lbs and that was a tussel alone,100lbs? uffda! Locals from Sioux falls SD tell me they have plenty of these carp below the damn in town,just a matter of time before some asshat catches a few and dumps them above the damn and let them head to NoDak.

Don't be too quick to stomp a mudhole in my ass: I wonder if a sea lamprey could latch on to them?...I also hope there's more than a few "organic" fertilizer business's in the works.

They've got a poison to control lampreys.

I have only see one in the James river. But I hear once u get in SD on the James that they fairly established.

You mean bighead carp? Bigmouth buffalo are a native species

Ok, heres the situation, they are filter feeders, like zebra's. Maybe only one species can coexist in the same body of water! If you had to choose, what would you pick and why?

Im also curious what zebras will do to the paddlefish population once they get a good grip in sak.... Ideas?

Yup,Bighead,my bad.On 2nd thought maybe sticks of dynamite would be in order.Yup,Bighead,my bad.On 2nd thought maybe sticks of dynamite would be in order.I read that the bog mouth buffalo get pretty darn big as well,record is 76lbs! We shoot a few buffalo's every spring but the small mouth version,10-20lb class.
