Asian carp

[barkleyhawggitter]

tim farmer did a segment on kentucky afield where he arrowed a few and did some recipes of fried and smoked big head asian carp. he and his crew taste tested them and said they were every bit as good as crappie or bluegill and were a white flaky meat. tell every red neck this and say there is no limit, start a pro tournament trail and they will be wiped out in a decade, go to kentucky afield web site it was a good segment on how to clean them etc. i am going to fill my freezer with them and eat the hell out of them.

Go for it! And those that you don't keep, kill them and let them be turtle food.

Somebody posted a while back about being told they weren't allowed to bow fish for them in Indiana or something (sorry I don't remember the particulars). That's just ridiculous to not allow that. I say if people want to bowfish for them, let them do it any time, anywhere, with no limits whatsoever, as long as they're not endangering anyone else. We need to get rid of these invasive pests any way we can. Although it may already be too late...

I have always wondered why they don't just run a boat shocker and net as many fish as possible to lower the population. I know the numbers and sizes of these fish are outrageous but they could have a couple of barges follow the shocking boat and just fill them up. Maybe they could even take all the meat and use it in soup kitchens or frozen and sent to third world countries. I'm sure this method wouldn't solve the problem but it could alleviate a little of the problems cause by these invaders.
I can't believe that in some areas it is illegal to bowfish for them.

Lets all get a big pontoon and a few shotguns and use them for target practice, collect some of the dead and use them as cutbait for big cats. The other 1000 dead can become turtle food.

I like it. In support, and for the next White House Costume party, I mailed the pres an Asian Carp outfit.

That sounds like a great idea.....I wonder how much of the meat would show up at Walmart as "imitation cod".

Ever wonder what the heck goes in "imitation crab meat'?

Anybody that would eat a Big Head Carp would eat a fried Dog turd, I'm just saying.

As good as crappie, he might have been smoking what Chris Simms had, LMAO.

The shocking doesn't work. It just makes them jump even more. If you watch toward the middle of part the video they fire up the electro shocking and there are so man jumping it looks like a waterfall.

But if more people would smoke with Simm's then they might eat these carp and then it would get rid of them. Mark SHHHHHHHHHHH maybe not as good as crappie but if people dont know then you can get rid of these carp. Need to come up with a way to harvest them that would get a lot of them at a time. Any suggestions? Maybe we can start a carp coop and sell them to China or somewhere maybe send them all to a starving country, or jsut get some beer and have a big fish fry. Need to do something with them, do not like going down the Ohio and having a 40 lb fish fly by my head. These things are scary.
