Jumping Carp in Illinois River

[deepblue1776]

Bighead Carp is the main ingredient of a popular Chinese cuisine called fish head soup. This particular type of fish has never been a problem in places like Taiwan and China because people consume them regularly. Maybe we could catch and export them back to Asia to balance the trade.

Cool video but also sad. On a seperate note, what kind of a name is nerissa? I'll tell you: an ugly one.

Notice that the short-panted girl is shown more than the long-panted one? This video is biased.

That's true these are not common carp. If they are jumping like that, they are Silvers. But Bighead and Silver are both good to eat, so go get em!

[NortheastWItrout]

These fish are anything but amazing.

[buffmasterD]

Those ARE NOT common carp....

Those are bighead, or silver carp. Totaly differen't fish.

Common carp are not invasive like the silver, and bighead carp are.

@buffmasterD Completely agree. I love common carp

[bgodwin1987]

@buffmasterD They are all exotic introduced species that are invasive and all the carps together are referred to collectively as asian carps eve though there are several species that have been introduced.

The bright side to this is there will be NO limits, no size limits, and NO "catch & release" policy. I can rod and bowfish ALL I want to with these babies around!
