Animated Short History of Carp in the USA

In this short animated video, we explore a brief history of carp in the USA. This short segment is part of a longer award winning film called CARPLAND, A documentary-style film about fishing for carp in the USA, as experienced through the lens of fly fishermen in various locations. Prized around much of the world as a desirable menu item - and in some areas as a game fish - the name carp carries negative connotations in the USA about its value as table-fare and a sportfish. Winner “Movie of the Year” Drake Magazine Fly Fishing Film Awards. You can watch the full award winning film on this KZbin channel.

Carp are probably the most destructive, invasive fish species to ever be deliberately introduced to the world. Sport fishers are largely responsible for the protection, and spread of, carp.

Crap is disgusting. I'd rather have catfish.
