Asian carp/Kentucky lake

I wasnt aware that they were taking carp from fisherman who are killing them as sport, I was under the assumption that there only being harvested threw nets and if people kill them with bows there expected to trash them. If someone gave me a some money to go out and catch and or bow fish these carp i would do it.. I dont think it would help me financially but it would be fun and a way to make a couple bucks. I know the carps skin are being used now to make purses and wallets and other things like that also. I personally have only seen a couple when im out fishing on the boat. I usually go to Stevens Port or i fish right by the McAlpine Dams by Silver Creek and have only seen a couple jumping but i imagine there out there some where.

Nice read Dave Stewart and echo's everything I have heard through the breezes. It is very sad to watch. I wish they could figure out why those ones died like Steven said so we could kill them all.

I caught one that weighed 15lbs below the KY Lake Dam on 5lb braided line. It hit a little crappie jig. I see them all the time at Barkley when I'm chasing shellcrackers.

There out there. Pretty much right there. Had three land in my boat at three different times last year. This one I snagged while drifting. Chuck
