VICE News correspondent Thomas Morton investigates Asian carp - a slimy, ugly, and often gargantuan species of fish that has taken over many waterways in the United States.
First introduced in the US in the 1960s to control weeds and parasites at aquatic farms in Arkansas, the bottom feeders eventually escaped and made their way through the Mississippi River system, eating almost everything in their path and severely damaging ecosystems across the Midwest. Today, government officials are concerned that the fish will invade the Great Lakes, destroy more ecosystems, wreak havoc on the region's multibillion dollar fishing industry, and spread to almost every major waterway in the Northeast.
VICE News traveled across Illinois to see how people are dealing with the Asian carp invasion, visiting the Redneck Fishing Tournament - where the sole mission is to catch as many carp as possible - touring a processing plant trying to monetize the fish, and then heading to Chicago, where we learned that Asian carp are a symptom of a much larger issue.

Miki Seius dem kitties wont like that filthy fish
Dopeta Twoo Diva's only want salmon? :D
Miki Seius u know all kitehs are divas , they ignore everyone, and only search for u when they are hungry
Dopeta Twoo haha and i love em! Guess that makes me their bitch ^^
Miki Seius me too XD
Lmao my favorite thing about Vice is how they put hipsters into uncomfortable solutions and watching them try and adapt
What's the difference?
Lol, true!
Agreed jake. When i seen the way they were stabbing that fish then punching and kicking the dead fish into the water lol.. That moment i realized these guys are some idiot hipsters.
Lmaoo when they sent that guy to North Korea
Jake Weinstein I hate him he is always acting uncomfortable and grossed out like when he was in Africa like why do this job if ya can't adapt to all kind people like at least try not to show it😂 smh
The funniest part about all this is that I was thinking to myself the whole time "Why don't we just eat them all? It's free food." And then I got to the end of the video where they said that this fish is a delicacy everywhere in the world but Americans don't like fish with bones in them. I started laughing...because I'm Chinese. LOL
Chinese eat everything right?
@@Yeetboi22 lol
Fish Bone may cause American die, because american kids grow-up by eating Donuts hahahahahaha
@@Yeetboi22 and americans are fat
Lol that's not true though. Americans actually don't eat this fish because they don't serve it at McDonald's
Isn’t that the same chef that was cooking Nutria in the invasive species swamp rodent episode lol
yeah
Yeah good eye
Hey that guy is going to motivate other chefs to get rid of this invasive problem here in the US of A
That brought you here too, eh?
I just watched that too...guess we are on the same binging schedule haha
just overfish them..seriously 900 dollars a day? im done with education
That's what I just told the wife
LOL
hahahaha
Even as cat food, the harvest has got to be worth catching, decent work for people and helps eradicate them.
MsMesem Let's go fishing.
Bring in two Japanese fishing boats and all the Asian carp be gone.
Now this is a really underrated comment.
Exactly. Their sitting here playing games with them and all they need is a net.
Well, obviously once they eliminate all the carp, we have to boot them before they decimate all the other sea creatures. Many suspect they created the carp problem in the first place through bribery and deceit.
I bet he wished it was male semen.
LoL
This reporter look like he has never lifted a thing in his life.
I agree with some comments here. The best to decimate a species is to find a way to massively comercialize it. Like licensing some cat and pet food processor plants near the affected rivers and have them accept only asian carp meat. Dog food, cat food, turtle pellets, cocrodile and varanus feed etc.
Natural fertilizing powder made from fish etc.
And the best way to attract industries is by tax cuts, big tax cuts in renting, and production which could be good to reduce the cost of pet food also.
Genius
When the apocalypse comes in a few years, you will be eating them when you are starved.
In Australia we have a product called Charlie Carp. It's great fertilizer (we have a big carp problem in the Murray river aswell)
An excellent supplement for poultry feed.
how about spending all these money (originally for killing / barring the fish) to educate American how to eat fish with bones???
give mcdonalds permission to fish for it in use for Fish o filet, problemed solved they will be declared endangered in a week,
Lol
Yeah but nobody orders those as it is.
@@KFrost-fx7dt let them grind down the fish and put it in their regular burgers, nobody will be able to tell the differens anyway with all the other surprise meat ingredients in there
@@My2I111 I'm sure they could bleach it and process it enough to make it into anything they wanted, just like surimi. Just add some beef extract for flavor and dye it brown.
@@KFrost-fx7dt who knows, maybe they are already doing that, only no one knows
$900 for one days work, that’s pretty frickin good!👍🏾
That's before taxes...
b pavilion Still, even after taxes it’s probably a lot
Money for boat fuel
Yeah, also the guy still has a job as cop, (not commenting on current events, just pointing out he still has a full time job) so I guess the american dream is still somewhat there
No info yet
“Mormonesque breeding rate” 😂 as a Mormon I’m... not offended cause it’s true 🤷♂️ 😆
Nathan Keyes hahaha I love that your not offended and can appreciate the reference 😊👏🏼👏🏼💕
Missy Mayes just wait another 2 or 3 weeks a non mormon named Karen will take offence on his behalf.
Kent Bremner Haha! I bet your right. What's with the Karen's of the works anyway?
Same here!
Im offended
Set up a factory to turn them into imitation crab-- California roll sushi.
Why are all these reporters little hipsters that got the arm strength of a cat sent to do things they think are Barbaric
Oi stop insulting cats, man.
+Nicklas Claesson hahaha ...
+Nicklas Claesson Love how he just repeatedly insults the dudes who took him out, for his lame ass story.
haha yeah that guy seems very out of place
+Nicklas Claesson Sooo true haha
Fucking magikarp
Ethan Xu I feel you, lol
He looks like the virgin from the virgin vs Chad memes

Noel Trujillo HA gottem 😂
You ever see his videos he did in Africa with seriously frighting people?This guy has a lot of guts!
No one:
Thomas: “Uh its Thomas, I’m once again 100s of miles outside my comfort zone”
This guy called us Yahoo's and bozos
Carp: don't worry, I'll slap him for you
Food is food. Growing up, we ate everything we could catch. American Indians are used to living off the land. The rations on reservations were nasty.
he was spot on
@@rosebudadkins6803 That's how most Americans' ancestors were too. We've become spoiled.
If that one dude is making 900$/day from fishing, say he works 5 days a week, he is easily making 230k/year. Guess I am doing it all wrong.
hfc I'm beginning to reconsider my life choices lol
xSirDingo Heck he can fish only 1\2 a year and be making ... What? Gee we are all doing it wrong, damn lazy suckers living off the democrats welfare schemes, my God help us all from this Washington DC insanity. No need for welfare, food stamps, housing assistance, not enough jobs?, no good paying jobs with very little education or training?, etc. In other countries with a lot of poor people, their people would be lining the rivers by the hundreds because it would the answer to their families problems. Not just subsistence fishing but a way to earning more money than they could ever dream about. Yet here in America it is a problem for the environment? What happen to the biblical edict, give a man a fish and he wil eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he will eat for his lifetime? Oh that's right the liberal left has killed God and kicked the bible out of the public domain.
maddad621 stop trying to make this political and bringing in your stupid belief into it
stop being a sheep and get out of that tiny bubble you live in
He said that was a good day but yeah I think he makes over 100k..
That's the optimistic look, but there's a bit more than that:
•The gas cost of driving a truck with a load on a 200 mile round trip
•winter conditions. I'd imagine the haul or fishing aren't easy when it's winter
•even with a fish this common in the river, I'm sure he gets some bad days
I'm sure there are more technicalities that the fisherman could mention, but I'm just listing stuff off the top of my head
FYI, silver and bighead carp are very high in omega-6 and much lower in contaminants like mercury than many other fish we commonly eat in the U.S. The meat is a plain white meat suited to many American palettes (think tilapia).
Was wondering the nutrient content of these fish. Thanks 😊
Big respect for the guy ripping quarter of a million bucks a year out of that water in a bad market.
I get $980 for 2 weeks of work, and I thought I was doing alright. See you folks later I’m getting into the fishing business
Carolyn Stark I’m out in Oregon where $960 gross is more than 2 weeks pay for a lot of people out here. This guy made that in one day! If a person could do that one day a week he/she would be close to $52,000 a year lol. That’s double what your average worker is making out here. Plus you have 313 days off!! That’s better than school teachers lol. Maybe instead of paying out unemployment and/or welfare checks the government should be setting people up with what they need to catch and sell carp. Do the math on that lol A brand new truck can be had for $35,000 retail say $3,000 for a boat with trailer and $1,000 for nets and stuff. Ok so you’re at $39,000. That’s less than a years worth of government checks that people get when you add up all the programs like food stamps and Taniff and welfare and unemployment etc. It would literally be cheaper to set a person up to do this for a living. And it fits the old saying perfectly lol. Buy a man a fish
(food stamps) and he eats for a day, teach him to fish (truck+boat) and he eats for a lifetime lol. Not only would the government save money but it would receive taxes out of each persons paycheck! lol. And remember that’s based on a person only working one day a week. Hell if I wasn’t retired already and working on my property I’d do it myself lol. Oh and a side benefit would be the number of carp being removed from the waterways would increase exponentially. It’s a win win.
Somebody please tell the government about my idea quick!! lol
@@prepperjonpnw6482 Food stamps and unemployment aren't the issue it's the greedy CEO fucks that hoard all our wealth while sending us to illegal wars. It costs 7 billion dollars a year to go to war but you're worried about something than isn't even a fraction of that? If you want lighter taxes then eat the rich and stop the interventionism.
Rah I'm making £130 a day working on a construction sites bro
Invite me, please. I have a Paddle, in case i am naughty.
@@Petey0707 Food stamps and unemployment are an issue... In 2018 449 BILLION was spent on welfare alone... Also where did you get your information? It is way off, just military spending exceeded 500 billion and a war cost way more than just military spending.
Should make good animal feed for something? Pigs? Fish meal for pets? Cattle?
Maybe grind them up as fish-meal for aquaculture and raise a more edible species. A big problem with aquaculture is the fish we want to eat also like to eat fish.... killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
kim weaver pig eat everything
han chen That works, too. Feed anything that will eat them.
Cattle eating fish? WTF?
madfury Do you remember why there is mad cow disease? Feeding cattle to cattle. Why do you think feeding them fish would be odd or worse?
Predators can't keep up with they're Mormon breeding rate lol 🤣
Isn't the answer for this problem then simple? Get the fish into those Mormon virginity underwear
@@corkyvanderhaven3391 yeah, and that fish is called "me and my homies in a boats with a big nets"
You can tell that this reporters mom still prepares his lunch. Lmaoooo.
If the asian carp is edible, then turn it into a gourmet seafood item, like how the lobster was also a surplus back in the days
Chenggong Lee but it’s very hard and the fish doesn’t taste really good. Also it’s too much of a surplus to call them gourmet
then make it taste good
I have eaten it, I liked. It's not a fish to grill, i prefer it seasoned or fry.
In Australia they are an even bigger pest and you can catch 80 a day but they taste like the mud they eat.
@@theskyisblue8979 To take care of the muddy taste just put a few in a container of fresh water and change the water a few times a day for a day or two. It basically "cleans" the fish. It works with tilapia fish. But seeing how they fly out of the water i think it will be to much of a bothet to try.
Allow people to fish for them without a lisense.
+Lucas G Turn it into a History Channel reality tv show - once the kids hear how much they're pulling in disposing of these pests, a new generation of commercial fishermen will surface to deal with it.
trueeeee
Whenever my dad and I go fishing ( which is a lot ) If we catch one we put a knife through their heads. i will confirm though that the cheek meat is really good.
so you put a knife through the delicious cheek meat?
how else are you gonna cut it off of the head?
I like that the host is doing an interview with his older self
I laughed so hard when he said lik you can put your whole arm in there, and dude replies... 8:40 but why would you want to?! Then that expression 🤣🤣🤣🤣
the fish were brought over to work and now they've escaped and flourished. living the American Dream
tommy facekicker i loled
Lol best comment
Lmfaoo
So long as they don't go out driving at night...
Lmao
Surplus of fish. People starving. Makes sense
+Nick ramp damn... true....
+Nick ramp The big food companies hate the fish the most.
what are they going to do? ship millions of pounds of fish to Africa forever?
How about eating them locally? And yes, there are many "Americans" that starve, as strange as it may seem. Mostly children,
Ggg Gg that's so ignorant it's hilarious. Of course there are kids in the US who are starving. A large portion of citizens live under the poverty line, and struggle to even put any kind of food on the table to feed themselves and their family. You may think of Americans as fat and lazy, but in reality, a majority are hard working individuals just looking for their next paycheck. Your stereotyping is pathetic. Be open minded for once.
Bruh I lost it when the carp slapped him in the face.
10:20 is the moment when we realise how incapable this man is.
I think the Vice executives get a kick out of sending this poor skinny man out to do manual labor
He could have placed the fish on the side of the wheelbarrow and pull it over. I'm surprised a man his size isn't a master of adaptation and improvisation.
You people have no idea who this guy is! Look at some of his earlier videos!
@@wyattearp190 WE WATCH, HES LAME AF
@@theeminenceintheshadow. He’s lame asf? Look at your subscription i’m laughing hard 😂
$900 a day? Daaayummm... what's the problem again?
Exactly! If I found a way to make $900 a day fishing, you better damn well believe I wouldn't tell anyone what I'm doing. lol
Expenses incurred. That's the problem.
maybe 100 dollars on fuel and 50 bucks worth of ice? that's still good money considering he doesn't have to work all day. plus if he earns enough during the warm seasons, he can take the entire winter off.
Best thing about that 900 is it is on a day where that damn hipster reporter kinda got in the ways of him fishing too lol .
To be fair he said it was a "very good day" for him. So obviously he didn't impact the fishing that much. Probably explains why more people aren't doing it as well. 500 might be more typical, and once you add the expenses to that figure it becomes a little less enticing.
Why would u send the most incapable person 😂😂
Instead of crazy population control techniques why not the old fashion way? Huge nets & sell by the ton. Population will decline and become manageable.
I bet hes never fished in his life
everyone hates on this dude but he really ain't all that bad
Everyone should start somewhere. It is ok, if nobody give him opportunity, he will not get better.
Just for the LOLs
“He’s also a cop” made me spit my drink out 😂
"Yeah, that's the fish that hit you in the head"🤦😂😂
At first I was like”why send the nerd”. Turns out watching him handle fish was fucking priceless
I lost count of how many times he flinched every time a fish moved, he would flinch.
I've eaten carp several times, they are good, with lemon butter, or batter and fry them, no problem with the taste of the flesh,
Man, the host is like a piece of slightly toasted bread

Why not use them for fish fertilizer, or fish meal for shrimp farming?.........
FMHammyJ alot of people do, especially in Illinois, they use it to fertilize bean plots then hunt those bean plots.
FMHammyJ or we could just eat it lol does it taste bad or something...
only black people eat carp
Mikhail Chesnokov wrong... black people and asians.
chonch burger Racist.
In Florida, it’s illegal to put an Asian carp back into wherever you caught them.
By law, you must discard them or keep them (they taste horrible and the meat is mushes with lots of bones).
Well prepared, it can be very tasty
I have a master's degree in environmental science. I spent a lot of time researching the best ways to deal with various issues, I remember discussing the electric dams to prevent the Asian carp from spreading further. I remember asking one question... How do they taste? Evidently the answer is delicious. I will spell it out clearly from someone who studied issues like this.... You can't have an invasive "pest" that is also delicious.... Fisherman.... GO NUTS!
Who thanks they are delicious? You must be Asian because Asians eat the nastiest things like dogs, cats, and this carp. I'm sick of people trying to push nasty vermin on us to eat. Like bugs, Asian carp, etc. There's plenty of food God put on this earth for us to eat. But you probably don't believe in God being so highly educated.
My dad told me the best way to eat carp. Cook it on a piece of wood and eat the wood.
ariean rachmat and your dad didn't teach you how to speak the language of sarcasm.
The black community knows how to prepare carp properly. Carp in Europe is classified as game fish,in big demand.
Just fry that shit
Lol hehehehehehe
Your reporter is absolutely rude. If you make a report on a mass invasion of a foreign fish then keep it at the report. Don't go all in and disrespect the people that fed you and offered you a first hand experience to what they call their jobs or favorite hobbies. It is obvious that you are not fit what so ever to be a reporter.
No shit. That dude is a pompous asshole.
It's vice
Can't really expect different
@@Princess0rangejuice yeah you right.
I lost all respect for him when he called those guys bozos.
@Jesus Christ said someone who raped his own mother.
I live in Iowa and people always told me you don't want to eat Asian Carp and that is is actually toxic for you. They lied to me.
If you catch fish with lots of bones in like carp and pike you use a meat grinder and make fish balls and fry them.
Why did you insult the guys at the end of this video? Seemed really out of place and pretty rude. You hang out with a group all day, feature them in your video and then insult them? It really takes away from the report.
that's vice for you. They're pompous
Because he knows a hillbilly will stretch 6 seats to pop him one..but not 6 states.
Yeah that soyboy's kind of a douche
He is is liberal Snowbunny. A rear ender
No it doesn't but still rude nonetheless
Cat food? Export? Fish Cakes? Fish Pellets? Pig Feed? Chinese restaurants? People need to tap into this resource and control their numbers!
the thing is there is way too much to even use them all. you can catch 30k fish right now and come back in a week and catch another 30k then another week for 30k. Their reproduction is way too much and growth rate too
+billyb Billy But 30k being caught would barely even count as trying seeing how easy these suckers are to catch with them just coming to you, you could catch 30k of these suckers in a week if just 1 person in every 100,000 in the US went in a boat for an hour and caught 10 each. The numbers if anyone cared to actually try and tap into this resource would be way higher fish resources that are tapped commercially get moved by the million every day let alone 30k.
@@seraphina985 Sterilization is the key. Remove their ability to reproduce and then when hunted the numbers will go down. But Chemical sterilization may present other problems to the ecosystem
@@wraynephew6838 That could work too but making commercial use of them would sure bring their numbers under control. The biggest issue is the lack of natural predators humans are rather effective predators themselves and even more so with mechanised assistance.
It would certainly help controlling their populations if those seeking to deal with the problem put some money into getting the right marketing team together to create commercial demand. If the demand exists humans will harvest enough fish to fill that demand unless they manage to exhaust the fish stocks in the process.
Even if it didn't get rid of them entirely it would likely bring their numbers down to more manageable levels and keep them there as long as demand persists. If you want lots of dead fish put a price on said dead fish and bingo.

Hi everybody, we in Hungary love to eat this invasive fish in various forms of dishes. One more tip: make sousage from this fishmeat adding some bacon to it. Smoke it, dry it for some weeks. Delicious.

They taste great
Carp is nasty
@@user-vh2mx2we6l If carp was actually nasty it wouldn't be the single most popular fresh water game fish on the planet. Every other country in the world loves to eat carp. Have you even eaten carp or just heard other people say its bad? Chances are they havent had carp either everybodys just on yet again another baseless american bandwagon of hating carp.
If there was ever a person who looked perfectly like a stereotypical "New Yorker" (in the most hipster wimpy way possible) this guy would be it. I swear 1/4 of this whole piece was just him flinching and being grossed out.

$1000 for a couple of hours of work is not bad! And they have people over there wasting the damn fish smh 😩
1000 dollars minus 200 bucks for fuel and ice equals 800 bucks a day is a really damn good living. Most people in Kentucky make that in a month.
Ending the episode insulting the people who's activity you participated. Classy and brave.. God damn your a snide coward. Disagreeing openly with them I would have respected.

That's marketing....
They taste like shit
Tyler a properly cooked carp tastes great
Tyler Kapteyn
Get an Asian cook lol
Do they not have alot of bones? I notice white people in certain countries can't handle bones in their fish.
Wait: You can make a 1000 bucks with them per day and people don't just fish and sell them? You can make quite a fortune buying a couple small boats, hiring a couple guys.
The Dudelino want to go half ! I'm in !
The fish he sold weighed about 1600 pounds. If each fish typically weighs 7 pounds, that is 228 fish he has to catch. In order for him to catch that many on a daily basis, he probably sits out there for 12 hours. Then he has to ice them and drive them to the nearest fish processing plant, which for him was 100 miles away, so another 2 hours added on to that because you can't hold the fish and let them spoil, but then you have to remember he has to drive back home, so another two hours. We're at 16 hours for a work day. Now, lets take the amount of money he spends on gas hauling all of that fish, which he probably averages 8 miles a gallon. 200 miles/8= 25 gallons of gas, and gas is about $3.00 a gallon right now. Subtract $75 from his pay right there, so instead of $960 it is now at $885. So, that is before tax, which I'll leave it like that since salaries people give are before tax. Also, we must take in to account the time it probably takes him to load up the fish on his truck and get them iced and ready to travel. Let's be generous and say that is another 2 hours. So, in an 18 hour work day, he makes $885, or roughly $49 an hour. It's still good money, but the amount of work and effort put in to it is incredibly difficult, and with a one man team, you're probably good to do that two days a week and remain in decent health, so if he did it full time, he'd be making $1,770 a week, which is about $92,000 a year for very hard work. It's good money, but most people aren't as driven as this guy - this guy actually enjoys doing this. Most people probably just want that $960 paycheck in one day.
If you watched the video closely, he simply left the fish in the boat, iced them down, and hauled the boat to the processing plant.
Great Animal Kingdom lol that works too
I appreciate your time and energy put into calculating and typing this statement, thank you!
Give us a chance wont leave a single carp in your river 🤣
Hey, dude did the interview in Bridgeport neighborhood in chicago. I grew up on the other side of that river. Lol
Dude punched the fish lmao
canned carp might be a nice solution to world hunger
Lmao the dude in the red shirt at the fish processing place was DEFINITELY DRUNK or popping benzos like candy. He kept slurring and fucking up his sentences 🤣🤣
980$ for fishing?😥 maybe I'm in wrong business man!
I ate a lot of Asian Carp when I was an educational director in NE China. It was bony, and delicious. Later, I began to enjoy spicy carp head. It is a great fish. You just have to get past the bones.
This fishing shit looks better than a regular job
AdiSk TheRUclipsr - Better than a regular job? That style of fishing looks like hard work to me. He's not floating around the pond drinking beer, tossing out a line every now and then and yukking it up with his buddies. Sure, the money's pretty good for something that takes little skill and lots of muscle. But a few years of that and he'll be ready to hire some young whippersnapper to run the boat and haul the fish onto the ramp for him.
@@wickedcabinboy two whippersnappers only cost 160 a day. Could easily double production and get $1840 a day (2x 1000 - 160).
You know those giant nets they use for Tuna? Get a few of those monsters and it will do work.
Damn, life sucked enough without knowing this now lol thanks Vice 😬😁
"we're out with Dave, who's a commercial fisherman............he's also a cop". I love how sketchily he thew that in there.
Let me summarize this. “Ew the fish touched me”
6 years later and we have them in lakes in mid-Michigan. Can’t even imagine the Great Lakes. Nasty buggers.
Any update???
He got 900 USD for one day of fishing on the small boat. That was very profitable :-O
And didn't even pay for bait, just threw out a net
well, lets see.... you have one guy making a Killing each day and the rest of the guys in this video are just killing the fish because. and not trying to make a profit on them. Like the Video shows there was not another soul on the water fishing. some commercial fishing would take a lot of these fish out of the river for sure.
Just make some celebrity to post about this and upload it on their socmed. Then people will overfishing them until they extinc. So far so good we great at doing that.
They hate the fish that they are getting money for?.. Lazy fucks, dont wanna work.... you can be your own boss. Work on your own time. Lol
Bro i could live happy just fishing 3 days a week lol
My parents bought a house in Minnesota on the lake 10 years ago and were amazed by the great fishing. Lots of bass, walleye, pike, and more. We haven't caught a fish other than a carp since the first year they bought that house, in the last 9 years. It's sad.
Are they common carp ? Or are they silvers ? Or are they Buffalo ?(a native species). I bet you there are still populations of game fish in there somewhere
Someone should start collecting infinity stone already
The vice guy looks exactly like what you would expect from California 😂
I mean he's done some good work and has guts
Word is that they're perfectly good eating. If McDonald's buys this up as fodder for their fillet o' fish, then we're friggin' golden.
Asians and East Europeans love carp, but Americans and West Europeans don't. Issue with using carp as Filet O' Fish meat is that carp are bony and processing would be more difficult.
Replace the Americans and West Europeans with Asians and East Europeans problem solved!
Eugene T Chu bullshit its 1 of the easiest fish to clean in serbia its game fish like bass in usa
Asian Mccarp filet with S&S Sriracha sandwich
How do they catch them over there?
How to beat asian carp? Fight asian with asian. Bring in a bunch of asian from all over the states and just let them fish. They will not stop fishing until every trace of the species are non existent. I know this because I'm asian and my local lakes got obliterated.
YES! I am Asian, I want these fish, I just wanted to fry one up right now!!
Basho Lol I'm Asian and it's so true. I was just thinking the same thing if only there was no fishing license involved for the Asian carp for sure you will see mostly asians catching those fishes. Unlike other Western countries we don't hunt for game but the sheer amt of asians just empty out the food reserve. Except for some other Asian countries who destroy everything for profit or eat everything and don't leave for the survival of that species.
Basho lmao
jaselolzako03 And why are they complaining again?oh yeah, probably because they fear that the Asian community suddenly gets bigger!
I'm Chinese and I asked my parents about this. My grandparents were fishmongers and we used to eat like several dishes of fish a day. They said this fish doesn't taste nice since it is a feshwater fish but the exception is the canned black bean version where it is almost like fish jerky.
Set up a factory to process them as I notice that canned carp / dace is quite popular with Chinese.
Or they could set up a factory next to the river and just vacuum them up, process them into fish feed pellets for farming salmon.
what type of bait works best for carp?
I wonder how many carp got chopped in those propellers lol
those fish are delicious when steamed,deep fried or cooked in vinegar,lemon pepper,soy sauce,ginger,garlic and chilli.
Africa: We have no food. America: What are We going to do about this shit ton of fish

People always confuse these Asain carp for mirror and common carp not even in the same family. Wich isn't good because mirror and common carp get killed for literally no reason. These carp are nice looking and a blast to catch
Boat: *exists*
Asian carp: *yeeet*
I am Chinese,we eat lots of those fish,in fact they are delicious if treated proper.I tell you guys these fish had to be fresh killed,dead fish is much cheaper even no one want it here,because dead fish taste much worse. and fish without fat and in winter（in winter it lost much of its fat）taste better
The reporter looked like he just came out and did an outdoor thing for the first time.

Vectrex93 😂😂😂😂

Beer, Boats, Knifes, no life jackets, Over loaded boats, And heavy clothing what could go wrong.
You almost forgot the fish missiles!!
Welp its their prerogative. Many ppl in the rest of the world, Finland, Brazil, India etc go fishing and drinking or w/e and dont have life jackets. If its what they choose so be it. We cant assume just cuz they're in the U.S. they have the same mentality, culture, and resources and thought pattern u do. I dont mean no harm by this comment but just something to consider and think about is all.
I mean it's pretty easy to swim
Boobies & Doobies ...wooo~~Hooo....
