- Check out this huge school of asian carp that KDFWR shocked up while electrofishing below Barkley Dam. Seeing this many carp together is actually a very common occurrence. This was shot during a media day to highlight the BAFF system that is currently being installed in the Barkley lock.

Good to see some people saving fish from drowning

I think it's a solution for controlling the Asian Carp as an invasive species.
You guy's need to keep doing that as much as possible.. All day everyday. . Those carp need to be eradicated or we will have nothing left to fish for..
Can you eat those carpe?
Mihai Ilie you can even spell.........😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@mihaiilie8808 Asian carp cause serious damage to the native fish populations in the lakes and rivers that they infest because they out-compete other fish for food and space. Carp are also thought to lower water quality, which can kill off sensitive organisms like native freshwater mussels. If you were truely and expert you would know that. And reading your little paragraph you typed out, gave me a brain aneurysm.
@@mihaiilie8808 your so wrong on many levels

"We're gonna need a bigger boat!"
I appreciate the reference lol
Nice pic 👍👍
Lol
And a gargantuan scoop-net!
@@EducatedSkepticit was a jaws reference he was making
For such a massive invasive species issue, the solution sure seems simple.
Tiger muskie works where Iive
Ignorance abounds. They are one of the great game fish; and do not damage the fishery any more than any other species. Bass feed on baby carp. Good carp population, good bass population.
@@57tubeviewer I'm not going to give you the answer but maybe a little Google research.
The hard part is not electrocuting the fish you want to keep.
And delicious!
I've seen and tasted Asian carp(fried). It tastes pretty good. I suggest they put no limit derbies into play for Asian carp. I'm sure kids would love catching those huge fish and the proceeds can go to charities or whatever organization manages the river/lake/native fish.
the problem is they dont bite baits. they are filter feeders. so the way most catch them from boat is snag with a treble hook. and thats why they are such a problem. fishing doesnt catch them.
@@bankfishingislife5484 will they bite on bread?
@@muhdymentholcorn
@@png_in_usa They actually won't eat bait, in this video are mostly (Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) they are filter feeders and despite what people say they don't bite lures either. People snag them in their mouths due to the size of the mouth. Simply put they are not biologically designed to eat bread, corn, minnows or worms. They eat phytoplankton, and don't even have a true stomach meaning they can't digest anything else. This is why they are so hard to control.
@@bankfishingislife5484 i fished carp all the time and the type of bait i use usually just some floating algae i found on the spot or a mix of flour algae eggs and a bit of cooked rice
I live in south east asia and we got lots of carp here (which is the most common fish you fish around here lmao)
The mistake here is assuming the rest of the internet understands the Asian Carp problem you could of done this by simply adding "invasive" in the title so you don't get viewers misunderstanding the reason for electrocuting fish
Or they could have done their own damn research on why it must be done.
I was thinking a simple "white" would have made most of the haters be ok with it. You know cause if your white it's ok to be hated..
They didnt make any mistake.. the title is exactly what the video is. It's up to the viewers to research something before they comment, instead of assuming they know.
People are too lazy to research this! Their own stupidity will shine through when they open their yappers!
A Biden supporter will soon say,,,,,, CLM 🤣🤣🤣🤣
People don't understand that the asian carp will wipe out other fish species and their habitat. They need a bigger boat!
Allen Dotson more boats
Exactly!
Do they taste good? Or are they for fertilizer?
@@r0b0saurusrex80
Carp are the boniest, most tasteless fish out there.
They need a few shotguns with steel shot.
Grind them up and use as fertilizer in community gardens
Perfect
How about eating it?
@@lad4415 too bony
They are actually good eating.
mr_biohallow _tabletop They can easily be pulled out if done right.
THAT is incredible. Thanks for the effort guys, I sure hope it helps to eradicate them!
That’s my kind of fishing, telling the wife I’m fishing all day.. reality is this and straight to the bar.
Fish : Ouch that hurts man !
Fishermen : Oh Fry me a river !
Most underrated comment ever 😂
Ba dun dun....tissss....rimshot. lol.

That comment needs a 'love' button.
OMG HAHAHA
Over 40 Asian Carp didn't like this video.

Hey Im a carp, and I support this effort. My species just will not support birth control and promiscuity reigns.
I identify as a carp. Triggered. /s
U idiot
They told me go fishing..
I took my stuff,baits..and my friend came with a truck battery and two electrodes..
you'll need an inverter too, 12v DC ain't enough
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"fish just arent biting today"....."hold my beer".
I suppose a bit like Japanese Knotweed in the UK. I remember as a kid making tunnels through the stuff. We had amazing fun. However the stuff really did thrive in local woodlands and didn't give much of a chance for anything else to grow. It occupied large areas with a canopy about 6 foot high so nothing else was getting sunlight other than trees that breached it. It used to spread its seed fast and take over large areas quickly. An area of knotweed would almost double next year round.
I actually miss seeing the stuff as its since been completely eradicated from the area for around 10 years.
Anyway I don't like any kind of meddling with nature so i stay out of it. But I do understand the repercussions it has on local wildlife and fauna. I let the experts deal with it.
I have very fond memories of "fighting" it with stick swords. My mom told us kids it was invasive, and it was OK to cut it down, but I wonder if we only helped to spread it because it did keep spreading despite our best efforts.
The people disliking the video don't have a clue. Nice job 👍👍
Using this method doesn't distingquish one specie of fish to another.
You dont have a clue !These fishes are the most usefull and valuable fish in USA and they protect the ecosystems and all the native fish by preventing eutrophisation .
Only these fish can save lake Erie or the Florida red tides.
@@mihaiilie8808 they're an invasive species you idiot
WhyDidIJustEatThat don’t feed the troll lol
@@jedclampett6466 Did you see any other species of fish?
People used to fish using those old wind-up telephones (generation before the rotary phone, where you just got the operator). You'd crank the thing, which generated an electrical current, then put the leads into the water.
killerskillet
Ha ha ha
Still have one for this purpose and "digging" worms!
Field telephones....
feed this fish to the zoo like crocodiles etc. harvest everyday and deliver
And where do you think the money to do that will come from?
@@CheezyDewitt the Zoo
@@CheezyDewitt From everyone who doesnt want the entire habitat to be destroyed by that invasive fish? Nuff institutions and people with that goal around.
If there is money to be made people take care of problem. IE bags or aluminum cans , buckets of copper ,brass . Business are formed, trailer at the mall parking lot, scrap yards in industrial areas, forklifts , cutting equipment. People employed and paid. Card board and plastic = government subsidy. Salmon catfish trout people. Asian carp government
Icekun Sama smart
Catch it. Fillet it. And then export to Asia. They'll gonna love it especially anything of the items labelled "made in USA" even though it's just common carp
Seems like a lever operated scoop, or something like that would be more effective for gathering them. Or just deploying a cast out net. Almost anything other than grabbing singles by net.
Single net the native fish out of the mess
@@mdwallace this method doesn’t affect natives
Looks like we could make a new dinner menu for all in prison. Carp and geese forever.
You genius
That's what they did for lobster. Now we have limits on lobster so we don't wipe them out. They used to be pests. It would probably work for carp too.
@@supercomputer0448 Wut ? which prison serves lobster ? Imma put myself there
@@izukumidoriya4500 not anymore, but in the past...
@@izukumidoriya4500 Yeah Lobster and shellfish was considered food for the lower class until recently in history. Lol
Make dog and cat food out of them!
Then what will we so with all those losing horses the day after the Kentucky Derby?
They're actually good human food.
Or just grind em up and feed it raw. Better than kibble from grocery store.
They are actually good deep fried.
Feed the hungry.
Where is MacDonald and Burger King when you need em?
1. The fishes are plentiful
2. The meat are good.
3. We can clean up invasive species.
4. They have low toxicity because they grow so fast.
5. No chemical is needed for these fish.
6. It will be a cheap addition to the menu
Once its about money, it starts becoming less invasive.
Fish heads fish heads roly poly fish heads plant em in the garden eat em up yum.
Feel bad for the guy practicing his scuba gear underneath
🤣🤣🤣
Good job peeps people who disliked the video are probably people who aren’t educated of the situation
Well done! I hope this is going on 24/7
They could do this every day for a year straight and it will still look like that next year. Yes they are doing a good job “trying” to fix the lake but they should have done something along time ago when us anglers said it was a problem. Now more time, money and resources will be put to use for at least 10-20 years before we see a major difference not a little one.
How long ago did you see it as a problem?
@@Lhansmeyer33 several years back
Blame Obumma.
@@vidvidvid2012 No, you blame your orange master Trump.

I would not want these fish in my river but I would love to have a dozen in my freezer.
I would like to see more commercial fishing for these they're actually quite delicious a little bit bony as many carp are but if we had a commercial fishery for them I think we could at least decrease the population somewhat.
Market has to be made for it first
I agree. They could be canned like mackerel, tuna, or salmon which also have lots of bones. People around the world eat all kinds of carp, some pay well for it. Could be exported to countries that love them, or given away like canned meat was for commodities. Create jobs too.
It would likely just turn out like the rats in London. If people are making money, they aren’t going to wipe out their source of income, they’ll just breed more carp. What we ought to do is promote catching and eating them.
Wow! Amazing!
I've heard that Asia has a **massive** appetite for these fish so if they can ship them over there, this is a whole pile of money right here!
These people are doing a GREAT job, even if the fish just end up being used as fertiliser! That's useful too!
They already have enough in Asia I think.
@@21darkster it's where they came from , I think
@@bmad1386 it's from china
these fish are actually threatened in asia because of habitat loss and predation by humans.
There are a few companies that work with local fishermen to buy these carp from them. Then the fish are cleaned, flash frozen, and shipped over to China. The Chinese prefer these carp because a lot of what they get to eat are "farm raised" and they much prefer these "wild caught" carp.
i think youre going to need a bigger boat
jaws
Imagine failing in that water, gotta go half day.
Obviously get a bigger boat with a small electric hoist. Spread out 20 feet square net from floats 5 feet down from the surface. Apply voltage. Haul up net by the corners.
Should've started doing that a long time ago. Those things are so invasive and such an issue they may be an act of bioterrorism by the Chinese.
Dummy. It was white people that introduced asian carp to the US.
Gives a whole new meaning to a 'fish fry'.
When can I buy one of those at Walmart....... Who needs quarter Sticks
This is so satisfying oml
Ima send this to my vegan friend
isaac medina underated comment
Highly invasive. I support this!
This carp spread faster than COVID-19
just found the solution to world hunger :)
you are welcome to them, come on down - Many Australian outback towns run annual fishing competitions to remove as many carp as possible as they destroy everything there (eat all food, eat all native species, churn up the mud and drown other species
at 46 seconds, they gonna need a bigger video.
Serious problem...
In India we eat the Indian carp and it can be made deliciously if the fish is big. It is served in weddings and sold at a good price. :)
But it was not a happy sight to see so many of them die in one go.
Here in Florida we got plecosostimus by the millions. I've seen them just as many behind waterways. They need to be eradicated as well
I have so many off color..rude ..moronic comments that I'm gonna keep to myself..
but good job trying to eliminate an incredibly difficult species.

Invasive, edible, killing off native fish species, Seems like a good service these guys are providing.
Ikdulo I wouldn’t say edible🤢
@@Family4SL oh... I suppose 2/3 isn't bad 😆
@@Family4SL you know they use those muddy things in the the McDonald's Fillet-o-fish ... true story 🤢
lil bandito I mean they’re pretty good when done right. Freight house a restaurant in nearby Paducah has some pretty good Asian carp dishes and the chef was on Top Chef.
What ever it takes to save an eco system from invaders.
The really sad thing about this video, is that they didn't even make a dent in the Asian Carp population.
Till them into the garden and you would have a hell of a crop.
Fish Fry tonight! Whip up some bang bang sauce.
That is very impressive. Good and fast way to gather them up.
0:39 that’s was my reaction to this video
i'm not saying its anyone's fault in particular. but these fish were introduced to the north american rivers to control vegetation "overgrowth" in the waters. they did an excellent job. but researchers failed to see the damage they wouldve done in years to come. which is what we are seeing right now. lastly, i dont think its right to call these fish invasive when they were intentionally put in the water systems. but they definitely need to be removed. alive or dead, they dont belong in these water systems.
They where introduced and became invasive
Awesome....!! Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤🐟🐟🐠🎣
You all going in with a bigger boat next time? That was awesome.
After all these bloody years sitting on the side of a lake hoping to catch a fish and all I need to do is throw a toaster in the water 😂😂😂
This is so satisfying. I hate those stupid things. There's millions of them. they need to have about a hundred pf these boats on 8hr shifts going up and down the river
If you keep aggressively hunting them and eat them all then these guys can just be a huge blessing to hungry people.
Just "heyyy!!!" and hundreds of fish jumping😯😯😯🤣😅😂🐟🐟🐟
This would be a good video for Daily Dose of Internet
People don't understand, this is the easiest most humane way to single out the bad fish without harming the good ones, it only Stuns them for about 5 minutes, then they return unharmed. A net would damage and kill the keeper fish, and having a thousand fishermen out there for hook and line catch just causes distress, fights, e.t.c. HOWEVER..... What we didn't see was what they're doing with the carp after they catch them. There's many good recipes online for them and they're quite tasty. There must be a food bank somewhere that can help distribute them to hungry families, or a processor that will can the meat.
In Australia we use carp as fertilizer, Charlie carp
How tho...fish need to swim to breath. How do they stay alive just laying there?
@@lloydchristmas1086 The ones that go in the boat "carp" aren't going back in the water. They are invasive and will be killed. The noninvasive fish that are stunned are still in the water and will survive.
This is like casting a AEO magical spell on mob
AOE*
This is an invasive species right? That why you scoop em up like that? What is the fish used for later, som kind of product, maybe food for other animals, or is it just thrown away?
These are invasive fish. Not fit to eat. Too boney and taste bad. They had the bright idea long ago to transplant them to the US to control algae growth. They soon proliferated to the extent that they started killing off native fish. A little trivia for all those dislikes who feel sorry for the poor little things. Have yourself a nice, boney carp fillet.
Here's the best recipe for carp:
One hickory board
Garlic
Salt
Pepper
Place carp fillet on board. Add salt, pepper, and garlic. Also lemon if you desire. Cook in 425 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Throw away carp and eat the board.
well actually i have had carp and they seem to be about the same as any other fish.
This make me think of the Simpsons movie
Cant believe how big those are, but wouldn't this also kill any native fish that are around?
It doesn't kill the fish. It shocks the water which stuns the fish. Only enough voltage is used to do it without killing them. Any good fish can be released or just left in the water because they will recover in a few minutes.
Does it cook them at the same time? Because that would be convenient!
santiagobenites it just stuns them
And debones them too, just open your mouth they will fly in sliced in small chunks with a bit of tartar on top too.
@@Peto111222 Hold the tarter sauce on mine.
Where do the fish go? Does anything eat them or are they just tossed in garbage
You guys need a another boat running around with a big net That will clean them up a lot faster than trying to dip net them

Y'all need to have another commercial fishing tournament.....
Right
WOW!

I know..I thought the boat was going to sink ..LOL
Now I want a fish powered car!

Build an industry. Process them and sell them back to the Chinese at a premium.
As a bass fisherman this is satisfying
Fish conservation brought to a whole new level. When people throw little fish 🐟 from their personal fish bowl into a river 🙄 it's not a cute thing, it can destroy fish and fish habitat.
Targets the “Asian” carp only is kinda racist. 😂😂😂
He is a fishing Hitler
Too expensive to shock the "other" carp
As an Asian person, I'm okay with it. It's an invasive species that destroys the local habitat.
a bigger net, i guess
Edit: Oh my god the floating asian carp make me have type ten OCD
"I think we need a bigger boat!" Or a woodchipper!!!
😂😂😂😂
Are the fish dead or passed out? How quick would the humans die if they fell in?
"Dad, it's not fair to use a bug zapper to catch the fish!" -Bart Simpson
The first thing that came to mind.
Don't taze me bro!"
Does this 'electrofishing' method only target/shock Asian Carp?
No, but it only stuns fish, letting you scoop up the ones you are looking for.
That's the point...the carp ate all the other fish!!
Bill McDonald Carp aren’t predator fish
For all of the animals rights folks. These are invasive fish and they will displace the game fish maybe to extinction if not brought under control.
Those guys caught more fish in 20 min than I caught in the last 40 years!
Cool! But I prefer Dynamite fishing
better without combustion byproduct in the water.
That's something I could really get into
90% of those fish sunk straight to the bottom, they need a bigger scooper.
Gluluman That is not true. Look at all the fish floating near the boat, when they are knocked out, they float to water surface.
i imagine this is exactly how the aliens are going to treat us lol
That looks kinda fun I want this job.
You could. Most states have a program where you get paid to get rid of invasive species. If you do on a large scale you could make up to 200k a year.
We need to start eating these fish. Bait for the fishing industry, feed for the salmon farms.
The best way to prepare carp to eat. Season to taste, wrap between 2 pieces of 2x4. Then wrap with foil and bake for 1 hr. Remove from oven, unwrap foil, throw the carp away and eat the 2x4's. 😆
Incredible how many and how big.
Holy crap... I mean Holy Carp!!!
Honestly, I would've been outraged if I hadn't seen "Asian Carp" in the title.
20 mins earlier a group of fisherman said “their ain’t no fish here let’s move on” 😂
