I'm not sure what would kill those carp. What kind of carp are they? They are all exotic. Some have been in the US longer but they all originated in China. At least that's where I thought they all came from.

Perhaps I should invest in "dough Balls" and buy a factory that makes those things. I fear that these carp are here for good. I see no way to get rid of them other than inventing something like a virus that specific to the carp and kills them and nothing else. The Government Fish Scientists are probably at Ft Detrick already working one that.

BTW: dough balls is what they use to fish and catch carp in the old days.
One time when I ran out of worms I put a tiny piece of chicken liver on a small 1/8oz lead head with a curly tail grub. Just screwing around I put a bobber on it and set it maybe two foot deep, cast way out into the channel from the bank and discovered that carp and hybrid bass will really get after that chicken liver. I know carp only eat plant food but for some reason that day the chicken liver was deadly at catching some monster carp at Van Buren.
