The problem is that rhese fish take all the oxygen in the water and this stops other fish from breathing and kills them. Asian carps survive because they can breathe outside of water (the oxygen we breathe). Without the fishes this can seriously damage our ecosystem. So stop trying to protect and encourage the stupid Asian Carp!
if any of you gun hungry dumbasses would just fry one up and try them you would all see what your missing. we can do our part buy adding them to the dinnerplate twice a week. these are filter feeders so polutients dont stack up as bad in them like predator fish. i ate them for the first time wed and wow. white flakey meat that tasted better than any other freshwater fish ive eaten. even crappie. they are far better than catfish. theres no black slime or chinese men inside of these.white meat.
@catfishredneck88 The problem isnt that we cant eat them. Imagine what would happen if you went jetskiing in lake michigan or the ohio/illinois/mississippi river and got hit by one? You'd wreck your jet ski, and would probably drown or suffer a major injury if not death.
Now consider all the money the neighboring states gain from water sports (fishing, swimming, boating etc.) These huge fish literally choke out the native species as well as render the water unusable by a MAJOR industry.
@iclark2400 they are killing the native species and wrecking the natural ecosystems, thats why we are trying to get them out and keep them from getting into the great lakes
Shoot all these mother fuckers! Stop fucking around talking about it, no permits, no bows, cage boats with loud motors and guns! Shotguns with buckshot! 12 gauge extended magazines! If we let biologists handle this matter they will fuck it all up! Any individual that spends their days on the water or in the woods can tell you a hell of alot more then a biologist! They are about as worthless as a DNR officer! If we don't do something, the Great Lakes are going to turn to shit.
Considering how people overfish and deplete populations, I'm surprised that they haven't hired a bunch of fishermen to overfish that river and exporting them back as food to those Asian countries from whence they came.
You want to hear my permanent solution, put up a small hydro electric dam. If I am right the river flows from lake michigan south right? So if the fish are trying to go upriver to the lakes, it's going to be pretty tough through concrete. Then use the power to power chicago. It won't be enough power but it would be some.
They should not kill those asian carp...they should use their brain to gain money.... they should make a foods for dog make in asian carp...or for feeding fish or for fishing fish...they should use their brain..if that is not allowed to eat by people..well... they should use their brain make it dog food.cat food or any kinds of animal....and they will gain money
While living in Winona, Minnesota we used to catch these fish and smoke them. With out a doubt the most delicious tasting smoked fish I have ever eaten. As far as the fish not belonging in the river, well nature will expand and flow where it will go and humans have no "real" control of what nature dictates. Being angry at fish is absurd a bunch. Go fishing. Eat fish. Be happy.
Why don't we start eating them? Is the river too polluted? Seems like if we weren't so well fed on other foods in America, we'd be eating these fish. Fish n chips
@luffy0190 if i were them i will catch that and make an experiment on it.. hahah toruture... or they should seel it... and use to make it foods for dog..fish.... anykind of animals...they should use their brain..
@ericsantiago011 lol now that would be a great investment,catch em and process it into cat food.people wouldnt even know what fish it is.i got a friend doing jail time on a minimum security joint on a big farm.they would sneak over to a nearby river with their home made rods/hooks to fish and 95% the catch is only carp.they make fish cakes out of em but before they kill it they leave the fish in a big bucket of water for a week to flush out all the dirty crap.
@Nomoreidsleft these fish are not native to any part of the states, nor this continent. Yes, it was our ignorance that brought them over here to keep ponds clean. These fish were never intended by nature to be here. It is our fault that thesefish are here, destroying our native species which do not deserve it. Therefor it is our responsibility to rid of these damn things. No matter how much you love trees and hugging them, we created the problem not mother nature. That is why they are doing this

Nature does not obey international borders created by man. There is no such thing as a foreign species. If they can thrive, then they belong there otherwise they naturally get selected out.

Purse seine em, purse em down, let em drown, release em. Or let me come over there and strike em for a living. I could catch a few hundred thousand pounds per week. Work better than a dip net. lol
Look at how that guy hit the fish with a wooden stick. If an asian person did that, peta faggets would be all over him and accused asians of being cruel to fishes.
Please, let's not place the blame on Canadians here. the source is clear, at least at this point, Mississippi. Us "regular Joes" up here, are WELL connected to our environment.(at least in Northern Ontario). We have the provincial Forestry institiute, the Lamprey Eel control headquarters all here. WE have always been quite aware of invasive species, and the threats they pose. It's up to an international effort to try to stem the tide BEFORE the Great Lakes!
@mmtheman Maybe in their native habitat, but have you ever had white fish, trout, bass from either the Great Lakes, or any of thousands of inland lakes?? They are INVASIVE!!
why not put greed into the equation we see it happen all the time. Logging, mining, drill for oil all of which are detrimental to ecosystems but does it stop no, because people are making money. It naive of you to think otherwise.
@missman009 and how would selling fish in bulk to 3rd world countries make you any money to cover the costs of boats, gas, employees, packaging, shipping overseas, and finally distributing the product, when does people have no money to buy it.
@missman009 Why not create demand? They don't taste bad I heard and we can use them to feed prisoners. High demands will definitely reduce their numbers.
@cumitran with a demand there will need to be a constant supply. Therefore they will never be completely wiped out of our rivers, especially if someones job or bank account, or i guess belly depended on their harvest. These fish truely are a great evil and their exsistence needs to be purged from our waters.
@missman009 you wont be creating a demand you will be fixing the problem and making money in the progress which can be used for other things like research, hiring people, creating work.
@b3llefor3va how would you be making money if there is no demand? True it will sort of fix the problem short term but creates long term problems. Like what do we do if we eventually clear out all the carp and hundreds of people livelyhoods depend on them. Do we say tough, find other jobs or keep the rivers stocked with fish so they can make money. Really it'll just create a mess and the rivers will never be free of Asian Carp.
@missman009 There is a demand for the fish in 3rd world countries, as for short term it will be at least 10 years of hearvesting before they clean the river out, as it is they are losing money by hiring people to kill it and it goes to waste, as for jobs im sure people can be told its a on/off job and america has alot of unemployed people so im sure alot of them will jump at a chance to work, i know i would.
@b3llefor3va Then in 10 years when the fish are gone will just be creating another famine. And if the issue is losing money then explain how is there any gain if we'd hire more people then ship the fish and give it away for free.
@missman009 10 years of selling the fish in bulk will make millions still after paying everyone etc, so it is upto whoever made that money to do what they want with it, dont factor greed into it, if they want to use the money to fix the river then so be it the millions get pumped into the river rehabilitation, everything pays for it self.
@smallblocksupercharg fine. but a)its illegal and you will be arrested, and b)you would be soely responsible for killing out every other species of fish
they said nobody has been killed by any of these yet, but recently, a woman WAS killed by was of these... she was hit hard enough in the head by one...OMG
I think the issue is the giant ones aren't suitable for eating, even in China. But they are sill a resource. Why not harvest them for fish meal, for chicken, hog feed, or cat food.
I am from China and I know that Chinese like to eat these fishes. If it can be harvested in large volume, why not export to China? If the cost of the fish is not high, you may contact me at chen678@gmail.com.
the main problem people are working on is how to harvest the fish from our rivers and keep them fresh for the long journey to china. i can tell you the person who figures out that problem will become a wealthy man
@kcrobottube66 According to an article in the New Yorker magazine (10/25/2010), one company in a small town in Illinois is doing just that. Apparently, though, the problem is far too big to be solved by just harvesting the fish, since the issue is that the carp obliterate all other fish species in the waters.
@kcrobottube66 it's not that simple, it's messing with all our ecosystems, and may wipe out our native species! Harvest all you want, the damage is done! Never mind commercial fisheries in the Great Lakes, how about all the inland lakes. Once our native habitat are wiped out, there's HUGE trouble. Just DON'T blame CANADA! Where are they now? They're not travelling south from the North! They're in YOUR waterways! They didn't get in the Mississippi via Toronto, for heaven's sake!!
@kcrobottube66 The problem is that the cost of harvest, then shipping would make them to expensive for most to buy on the Chinese end. Some people are looking into it I know, especially in utah where the government is removing 5 million pounds a year. (Mostly common carp.)
@kcrobottube66 Looks like the chinese have already put them in our rivers, so thanks just what we need more of your crap fish. However now it's a felony to pull this crap.
@Mr2505federal . These fishes were imported by an american fellow who wanted to breed them. Unfortunately after some massive floods some escaped and eventually made their way through to the Mississipi river. It sure is unfortunate but it has nothing to do with the Chinese. Don't get me wrong, if I were there, I would shoot them all! They are disgusting, murderers and putting at risks the life of pre-historic specimens! It'd be interesting to see what the gov is going to do about it.
@olipint Not a hell of alot they can do unless the American people are willing to foot one hell of a bill. In a lake is one thing but a river thats something else entirely. One thing they can do is offer a bounty on them. If I lived around there I would be setting up a boat with nets around the boat and let them carp jump right into the nets. Let the goverment offer a $5 a peice bounty. I would say you fix a pontoon boat up with a catch net system all around it for a couple hundren
@xxnoangelxx Lol, are you serious...these things are the worst tasting fish there is, hence the abundance. Thats why when you catch one, you kill it, and leave it, cause its a worthless species.
This is funny. Why Asian carps are not problems in Asia?
Carps taste good. People here are spending big money fighting Asian carps in vain. They will get into great lakes, just a matter of time, no matter how hard we try.
Eat them, they taste good, or sell them to Asian countries and make good money.
Such big carp, each head would cost at least $5 in fish market in Asia!!!
Export it, that's real opportunity! Just imagine fish farm in Asia invest a lot to raise that, but it can be found in nature in N.A. and to be an problem!! Can't believe
Haven't seen the whole video so maybe this is mentioned later on. Most fish hide under the water. These bastards come to you. What's the problem. We put a man on the moon. We can figure out how to kill fish too...I hope:)
Seems like common sense solution to me. The fish obviously have a weakness. They expose themselves by jumping out of the water. So why not have a team of boats going up and down the river, revving their engines and making the fish jump out. Have the boats equipped with huge nets or better yet and electric net so when the fish hits it, it's zapped and killed. Like a bug light so to speak. This will also fertilize the waters from their decaying bodies.
So now it's "boater safety" which is the big concern. Right. We are going to spend more money which doesnt exist so drunken rednecks can smoke their cigarettes and drink their beer without having to worry about getting "killed" by a plankton eating fish. Nature's way of telling you, your done. Perhaps this fish is the only way to combat the disgusting pollution in these waterways. The algae caused by pollution is what is making them thrive in the first place, or does the cause not matter?
put speakers around the river and play justin bieber and they will die or put music on and a eletrical field across the river and watch em jump and fry
@BabyCrystalNguyen they should dynamite them get them all bothered and jumping in an area and throw dynamite out at them. BOOM!!!! dead fish, noisy and fun to watch fish guts everywhere!
Would this work,or at least help: Build 2 barriers, acrosse the river, each about 500m apart. One should be build so that it can open and close relatively easily, electronically etc. The other should have holes big enough for the smaller fish to get through, but not big enough for the carp to go through. This 500 meter stretch of water should be drained and refilled repeatedly, leaving the carp behind to die, while the smaller fish escape. Use the dead carp as catfood or dogfood or whatever
I think that they should have hundreds of bowfishing tournaments on the river. Then have a big company like Purina dog food sponsor the tournaments. Give all the fish to Purina to feed our dogs and yet the asian carp numbers are cut.
the 'grind 'em up as fertilizer' arguement holds the most water here. i think people could form quite a few startup outfits and make good money doing exactly that.
if the few vietnamese/chinese-american populations along the missisippi wanna catch and cook em, more power to em...........theres no way id touch a carp fillet with a 10' pole myself..........
there isnt much plankton/algae in lake superior. its a subarctic deepwater lake. not prime carp habitat. they like cool water, yes, but not outright COLD water.
Now a pathogen! That is all we need is another great idea from "intelligent" people to bring about more unintended consequences. When will we ever learn? Why do you think they are called Asian Carp? These fish evolved for a different environment. Stop messing around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fish em just for fun then just kill them. Also it would be a blast to snag them! Keep them out of the great lakes, and the problem could easily improve if we all participate.
give a redneck as many beers as payment with shotgun shells and TNT and there wont be any asian carp in the world within a week.. thats the redneck guarantee!
The good thing is that we here up in Toronto have polluted Lake Ontario so much that there is no life in the water so these Asian carp won't have any food
United Allies and immense in its grace Poland (righteous people) will give you advice. This may be creating a new national sport called shooting carp from a boat something like clay pigeon shooting only with blood;]
you cant fish these fish out or hardly even lower the amount of these because there is thousands of square miles of water they are in. there is a lot of backwater that boats cant even enter. also they reproduce like crazy. i live on the illinois river and cant throw out a shad bait net without catching a large asian carp. i dont jetski any more for fear of being whacked by a 20lb flying fish when im going 50mph+.
whoever brought them into this country, for any reason, were freakin' idiots .... PERIOD!

Please, let's not place the blame on Canadians here. the source is clear, at least at this point, Mississippi. Us "regular Joes" up here, are WELL connected to our environment.(at least in Northern Ontario). We have the provincial Forestry institiute, the Lamprey Eel control headquarters all here. WE have always been quite aware of invasive species, and the threats they pose. It's up to an international effort to try to stem the tide BEFORE the Great Lakes!

why not put greed into the equation we see it happen all the time. Logging, mining, drill for oil all of which are detrimental to ecosystems but does it stop no, because people are making money. It naive of you to think otherwise.

@missman009 and how would selling fish in bulk to 3rd world countries make you any money to cover the costs of boats, gas, employees, packaging, shipping overseas, and finally distributing the product, when does people have no money to buy it.

@missman009 Why not create demand? They don't taste bad I heard and we can use them to feed prisoners. High demands will definitely reduce their numbers.
cumitran 1 year ago
@cumitran with a demand there will need to be a constant supply. Therefore they will never be completely wiped out of our rivers, especially if someones job or bank account, or i guess belly depended on their harvest. These fish truely are a great evil and their exsistence needs to be purged from our waters.
missman009 1 year ago
@missman009 you wont be creating a demand you will be fixing the problem and making money in the progress which can be used for other things like research, hiring people, creating work.
b3llefor3va 1 year ago
@b3llefor3va how would you be making money if there is no demand? True it will sort of fix the problem short term but creates long term problems. Like what do we do if we eventually clear out all the carp and hundreds of people livelyhoods depend on them. Do we say tough, find other jobs or keep the rivers stocked with fish so they can make money. Really it'll just create a mess and the rivers will never be free of Asian Carp.
missman009 1 year ago
@missman009 There is a demand for the fish in 3rd world countries, as for short term it will be at least 10 years of hearvesting before they clean the river out, as it is they are losing money by hiring people to kill it and it goes to waste, as for jobs im sure people can be told its a on/off job and america has alot of unemployed people so im sure alot of them will jump at a chance to work, i know i would.
b3llefor3va 1 year ago
@b3llefor3va Then in 10 years when the fish are gone will just be creating another famine. And if the issue is losing money then explain how is there any gain if we'd hire more people then ship the fish and give it away for free.
missman009 1 year ago
@missman009 10 years of selling the fish in bulk will make millions still after paying everyone etc, so it is upto whoever made that money to do what they want with it, dont factor greed into it, if they want to use the money to fix the river then so be it the millions get pumped into the river rehabilitation, everything pays for it self.

@kcrobottube66 According to an article in the New Yorker magazine (10/25/2010), one company in a small town in Illinois is doing just that. Apparently, though, the problem is far too big to be solved by just harvesting the fish, since the issue is that the carp obliterate all other fish species in the waters.

@kcrobottube66 it's not that simple, it's messing with all our ecosystems, and may wipe out our native species! Harvest all you want, the damage is done! Never mind commercial fisheries in the Great Lakes, how about all the inland lakes. Once our native habitat are wiped out, there's HUGE trouble. Just DON'T blame CANADA! Where are they now? They're not travelling south from the North! They're in YOUR waterways! They didn't get in the Mississippi via Toronto, for heaven's sake!!

@kcrobottube66 The problem is that the cost of harvest, then shipping would make them to expensive for most to buy on the Chinese end. Some people are looking into it I know, especially in utah where the government is removing 5 million pounds a year. (Mostly common carp.)

Mr2505federal 5 months ago
@Mr2505federal . These fishes were imported by an american fellow who wanted to breed them. Unfortunately after some massive floods some escaped and eventually made their way through to the Mississipi river. It sure is unfortunate but it has nothing to do with the Chinese. Don't get me wrong, if I were there, I would shoot them all! They are disgusting, murderers and putting at risks the life of pre-historic specimens! It'd be interesting to see what the gov is going to do about it.
olipint 4 months ago
@olipint Not a hell of alot they can do unless the American people are willing to foot one hell of a bill. In a lake is one thing but a river thats something else entirely. One thing they can do is offer a bounty on them. If I lived around there I would be setting up a boat with nets around the boat and let them carp jump right into the nets. Let the goverment offer a $5 a peice bounty. I would say you fix a pontoon boat up with a catch net system all around it for a couple hundren

westy44cal 1 year ago
Seems like common sense solution to me. The fish obviously have a weakness. They expose themselves by jumping out of the water. So why not have a team of boats going up and down the river, revving their engines and making the fish jump out. Have the boats equipped with huge nets or better yet and electric net so when the fish hits it, it's zapped and killed. Like a bug light so to speak. This will also fertilize the waters from their decaying bodies.

Nature's way of telling you, your done. Perhaps this fish is the only way to combat the disgusting pollution in these waterways. The algae caused by pollution is what is making them thrive in the first place, or does the cause not matter?

Would this work,or at least help: Build 2 barriers, acrosse the river, each about 500m apart. One should be build so that it can open and close relatively easily, electronically etc. The other should have holes big enough for the smaller fish to get through, but not big enough for the carp to go through. This 500 meter stretch of water should be drained and refilled repeatedly, leaving the carp behind to die, while the smaller fish escape. Use the dead carp as catfood or dogfood or whatever
