You MIGHT be able to keep a silver jumping carp (ALL carp are Asian, btw) that you accidentally snagged. But for the reason that CATCHEMALL explained, "there is no way to prevent you from accidently snagging other game fish," if you get caught attempting to snag any fish but paddlefish in season, you are going to get cited.
