I do not have a problem with thinning fish, but re-read the thread about Sprauge Lake being killed off and I agree that it was a waste. There are probibly ways to use the fish WDFW kills...dog food, fish fertilizer, I do not know.
The main point of distaste for me is the wanton blood-lust. Just kill and cut them open and let them sink...or float.
Geez, Louise...kids now days get all pushed out of shape if you throw away a pop can, but it is OK to kill an animal just for the fun of killing.

I'm not getting bent out of shape about it, nor do I agree in killing animals for waste. I just agree in the fact that sometimes fish that are considered "Trash fish" need to be removed or thinned out to control their population, which has serious and often detrimental effects to bodies of water. I don't feel that non-native fish that are illegaly introduced should be allowed to take over and ruin a lake. Just my .02. I think they need to be removed or thinned so they don't overrun the lake and harm the other species of the lake that were there before....

Yeah the fish in Thailand looks a bit different. The scales are definently more defined on the 132 pound fish. Just my thought though, maybe the body of water has an affect on how they look.

I think the funniest part of this whole 92lb carp deal is that in the article i read, the angler/bowman claims he ONLY shoots fish for fun because :geek: !!!HE IS ALERGIC TO FISH!!!!!! :geek:

THIS is the bottom line.

CARP DO overrunn waters they are not supposed to be in so technically speaking they should be killed, wether or not they are going to be eaten, used as fertilizer, etc.

Most species of carp arent even native to the united states let alone the PNW. i agree they are fun to catch but only HUMAN interferrence caused their spreading. so we are to blame and we should clean up after mankind and kill a couple carp a peice.

i prefer my carp on the end of my hook, line, and sinker. What about you guys?:thumleft:

Amen on the non-native part....that's what so many people don't know or understand...

As for carp fishing, I needa try that sometime...Green Lake in Seattle here I come...

IMO carp are no better (besides for angling purposes) than those ugly mean "snakeheads" that are spreading in the eastern U.S.! those things are nasty. i mean they look like something out of a horror movie. as a matter of fact some cheasy film producer actually made a "horror" film about them.

the weirdest thing is these "snakeheads" can survive a day outside of the water. they have actually gotten away from FW personal while being transported.

I've studied a bit about those snakeheads before. Iny my Environmental Science and Environmental Ethics classes....They are savage little animals. They can adapt very well and can really take over a body of water...

I just drove this thread off a cliff but I'm not familiar with snakeheads. What exactly are they?

they are a pesky fish that is native to tailand or somthing andit was introduced over here because the asian americans like to eat them or somthing so they somehow got introduced into the HUDSON RIVER. which is a very bad thing

Fisherman_max · Post by **Fisherman_max** » Wed May 14, 2008 9:18 pm

kevinb: They are no good.
Nasty looking things with an INCREDIBLE appetite. In some places they are popular as pets...But they aren't welcomed as much in our waters here in the states....

Read up on em a little. Very interesting IMO

Don't get me wrong..I have no interest in seeing them here. I've never heard of these before and was unaware of their presence. I googled the little buggers,it appears their are a few different species of them. One looked like a big snake head with little fins and another that was very pike like with a goofy head and all black.

I'm all about NOT HAVING carp in lakes and rivers because they are a nusance, but they are extremely popular cuisine in asian countries, and while the asian cuisine may be a little excentric at times, those guys sure know how to cook! My wife is asian, born and raised in the states though. She visited Japan in High School and swore that carp was the best fish she had ever tasted. They raise them different there though. They don't let them woller around in mud like the do in most lakes around the region.

Back to the picture of the ninety pounder.... What a big piece of CRAP. Whoops, I meant carp, haha.

You are right but I was just going by the IGFA...... Just thought it was neat. The only thing I ever caught that big was a western hemlock stump!

Snakeheads resemble the freshwater dogfish, aka bowfin. Both considered junk fish. I've never caught a snake head, but caught quite a bit of dogfish. Incredible eaters, they will destroy your bass bait, and can take over a lake.

I heard Snakeheads actually can survive out of water for a couple of days.

You are right...Different species same name.....Actually when I saw the article I thought the guys carp was a lot bigger...I was thinking Carp Lite!....

Carp are planted into some lakes to control grass, but they get out of hand quickly. If you ever fished potholes, moses and lakes like that, they get a little annoying. Let bow fisherman do what they do.
The guy in the article seems like a pretty smart hillbilly, I don't have a problem with him catching the biggest fish of his life.
Good story, and hope the guy doesn't work himself to death to pay for his $3k mount.

Most importantly, when did Dog the Bounty Hunter become a Fish Biologist ??
