why would you do that to your own river. you do know they are a problem already and you release more of an invasive species into your river system. FAIL

woulda been more fun clubing them suckers

[strickca991]

Should have stomped them bitches to death. Fucking hippies and their ignorant mind set. Carp destroy the ecosystem you liberal fucktards.

@4year4thyear Carp can, in some cases, be a fun game fish! Some species, such as the black carp (similar to the grass carp) can control mussel and clam populations! And In most river systems they can coexist with Bass populations!

@zachthefisherman What are their beneficial qualities?

[4year4thyear]

@shmow12 Because they're dumb. They're invasive and they eat all of the other fish's food. If you see one, kill it with whatever you have--a rock, a stick, your bare hands, etc . . .

@zachthefisherman there pests there the only thing you bloody catch here in aus full stop.

[shmow12]

why do people hate carp so much?

[CrispCoffee]

Can anyone tell me the biggest size catfish i can catcxh with 8lb wire and what bait to use?

[zachthefisherman]

@pmd32167 Carp do not directly threaten native species, yet another common misconseption put into your hate hungry minds. In many cases thier beneficial qualities far outweigh the malicious.

[pmd32167]

@zachthefisherman You cannot compare trout to carp. Trout can co-exist with native species. Carp devastate native fish populations and destroy waterways. Plus trout have a use, you eat them. Carp aren't good for anything outside of their native habitat. In Australia, you catch a carp, its an offense to release it back into the wild.

[pmd32167]

@xlxshanexlx Agreed. In some states here in Australia its an offense to release a carp back into the wild after catching them. They're no good for eating, wipe out all our native species and generally just ass holes.
