Ky River Asian Carp

Reply from Fish and Wildlife:

"This really wasn’t an oddity. We have seen these fish for a while in the Kentucky River. When we had the Wild Turkey spill which killed a lot of fish, there were many bighead carp in our fish counts. High water flows in the Kentucky River allow the fish to move pretty freely over the lock and dams."

I saw one of these fish at least that big in the Little Kentucky River during the 2004 KBF State Championship tournament. Jumped right next to the boat while I was fishing.
