You need to jump on the snakehead bandwagon. Carp have been around for a lot longer than anyone alive in most fisheries; they are a part of the healthy ecosystem now, except in those places where people have removed too many predator species (bass, pike, gar, etc). Then they are just responding to a drop in mortality by expanding their numbers. Its not the carps fault, its people. So, certainly in those areas where they have over-reproduced, some exemplary measures will need to be take to restore the balance, but just killing a bunch of carp won't do it. They only take out the bigger fish, leaving scads of smaller ones that then ruin the fishery for all. Charliy K, you’re too late. You need to jump on the snakehead bandwagon.

Sons-a-biches would go out and shoot 3-4 a day. The 200lb plus ones that were a good 20 years old at least. No such luck for carp though. I do think a few need to be harvested though just like every other game fish, to keep populations healthy though. Never see anyone keepin the smelly bastards.

Most of these slaughters take place in early spring when the fish are slow, sluggish, and frankly catatonic, brings new meaning to the term shooting fish in a barrell. I'll give all these guys the "Helen Keller" sportsmans award here for your great white hunter marksmanship. So they call this invasive species management,...I think we need to be cognizant of a term called unchecked eradication. Maybe next time we see a bowhunting event, we can stop by for the Hillbilly fish fry.(Insert hand gesture here). I take issue with this for a host of reasons.

I had an almost similar post a month back and of the same title. For many, bowfishing is a baseless excuse for wanton murder. They funny thing is many of those clowns fancy themselves "christians". What a fucking case of hypocrisy I've ever seen. http://www.roughfisher.com/2009/03/killing-in-name-of.html fuck those fucking fucks and the donkey they rode in on. preaching to the choir here.
