How Geographical Differences affect Fishing Cultures

[@rmconnelly5]

Brown trout are native to Europe, not the US. Rainbows are also only native to the west coast and are considered invasive in most other places, especially when in competition with brook trout on the east coast.

I watched this whole thing before I realized it wasn't from a channel with 100k+ subscribers like I expected. Very cool, high quality video my friend. I will be subbing!

I am originally from Australia and grew up there but now live in Houston, I was born in England. I liked your carp breakdown, and especially understanding how there are geological disparities in the love for the species and culture. I am also a college student and avid angler. Great video dude and very underrated

[@rolthox]

This was very interesting, I really enjoyed it

*Video Annotations:* 1:30 - if you aren't sure what "carp" species you catch, please don't throw it on the bank or kill it. because in the US we have many native species that look similar to nonnative carps (for example, bigmouth and smallmouth buffalo), and in some areas their populations are vulnerable/endangered. speaaaaking of invasive species, let's talk a bit about largemouth bass. one of the most popular fish anglers in the US and other parts of the world go after. but they are only native to parts of the midwest and south. so what does that mean? they are invasive everywhere else in the US and other countries. and they do an equal amount of damage like the carp do, competing with and eating native species and causing many native species to become endangered. so in my opinion it's not fair that carp are sometimes thrown onto the bank while bass are not (in places they are invasive in). of course doing this in a place they are established will do nothing, so i do catch and release fishing for all fish i don't keep. but it's still an interesting perspective that not many anglers have thought about before. 2:15 - there's no such thing as bad tasting fish, only bad cooks (most of the time). and in many cases people are just not preparing carp correctly. first off, carp in cleaner water won't taste as bad ofc. but i know in some cultures in european countries (and other places), they'll keep the carp in a bath tub filled with some water for a few days, so the dirtiness can cycle out. and of course when you're preparing fish make sure to bleed them well after dispatching. there's ways of getting the bones out too. then cooking is the next part but i won't get into that since there's so many ways of cooking fish. all i'm gonna say is, there's this dish in asia where you get fresh grass carp steaks and deep fry them and soak the meat in this sugary savory sauce, and they taste freaking amazing. 2:55 - for the "we love carp" you should extend it to all of europe and asia. the uk has a huge carp fishing scene (comparable to the popularity of bass fishing in the US). then tons of other european and asian countries too. 3:20 - again, before killing a fish, make sure it's the actual invasive species that's doing damage, and not a look-alike native 4:31 - brown trout are not native to the US, they are native to europe. rainbow trout are only native to the west coast of the US, everywhere else they are nonnative. brook trout are only native to the east coast of the US, everywhere else they are nonnative. and like all nontaive/invasive species, they are harmful to the natives in places they don't belong. 4:37 - yamame (cherry salmon) are based 💯 4:53 - tenkara mentioned 🗣🗣🔥🔥

Id love to see a lake trout eat a carp, if that does become a food for them lakies, then the world record bota go UPPPP

[@TheAnticlinton]

In europe silver and bighead carp are considered very useful water quality fish, and are stocked in most lakes. On some lakes, its even illegal to kill these carp species.

[@cameroonkendrick6312]

I’ve tried carp before, it’s honestly pretty mid, but that’s just because we have better options.But in some places these are the only fish you can catch because they can survive in heavily polluted waters, that pretty much sums up why they are a delicacy in some places, it’s the best option.

[@TheAnticlinton]

Yes, most reservoirs in europe have mostly tiny cyprinids that are just as bony with with even less meat on them.

[@mmfood3004]

They are a sport fish in the UK, people would take a very dim view of you taking one and eating it lmao

[@hiscuriousforyou]

Top tier quality

[@blenderbender5582]

Browns aren't native, but over all an amazing video!

[@twistedgrin3510]

I like the way you think and explain things :) Not into fishing but the way you told about it generally had me interested Sending love from Australia

[@eljanrimsa5843]

Tip from carp-culture-rich Franconia: Learn to set carp into clear water for a few days before eating it! And only eat it in months with an R, of course

[@csabaszalai9099]

We have bullhead here and its devastating, nothing eats it, theyre small and spiky and where they can be found they are in a millions, u cant catch anything else. We try to trap them. For exaple they caught 6tonns last year from one small canal. Also for example perch grows bigger in colder countries because there the fish reach sexual maturity slower, unmature fish use the energy for growing not spawning resulting in bigger specimens. So that part is not always true.

[@raptorkingxp2921]

Brown trout are not native to the US btw

[@avidhossanmansur9830]

Hope u grow big someday, Subscribed.

[@Airship007Johnston]

Can’t believe you doxxed yourself over carp

[@marshallkennedy8768]

Yo not to glaze but this is a decent quality video, what kind of website or software do you use if you don’t mind me asking. Power point only gets me so far in school lol

[@kolper6799]

Hello from Mid asia. What is fish?

[@sharpshooter4529]

I can tell you about Carp...The reason why Americans hate carp is one of two.One is that they have eighter never tried carp and the second is that they dont know how to prepare carp.Americans generally have this weird view of some species as trash fish...Like bonito and bluefish too.I never understood why.

[@cameroonkendrick6312]

I thought you meant like the false albacore those actually suck, bonito and bluefish aren’t bad at all I’ve tried them. Most people think that because it’s what others say it’s pretty simple

[@TheAnticlinton]

Anglo culture and in general cultures of areas with lots of coastline are very picky in regards to fish, be the reasons arbitrary or not. For example catfish and dogfish is considered low quality in anglo nations arbitrarily. but american culture, possibly due to mass food processing, is very allergic to picking out bones in fish. All fish must be filleted. meanwhile in eastern europe and china, youre expected to pick out fish bones yourself and its not considered a great inconvenience

[@Samurai-em4zr]

great video

[@vulexd1037]

I mean you can see the reverse with happen with American catfish in Europe especially in the Danube system. Europe has its native Wels catfish, which operates in our ecosystem normally. Then we have imported bullhead catfish from America obliterating our areas and driving native species away. It is funny how the same fish is totally different in different locations.

[@maciejgronowski]

So... now we have polar bears in Antarctica??? 😮 why did no one tell me??? Also "carp" in the USA is NOT the same carp which is farmed for centuries in Europe. All the pictures you showed are the farmed common carp not Asian glass carp

[@caesersoberano1335]

Here in brazil we love carp too

[@cptnbinky]

"Whatever tHIS is" was corny

[@Doonogies]

Whys is this my recommended Is this a school project?
