The fish had the clear water stirred up and muddy, but we shot a few nice commons.

Kept count a few years ago. Shot 60 common carp in one season. I missed 160, hehee. I used to bury them in my garden for fertilizer. What do you all do with them? Buffalo supposed to be better eating than the commons, but I haven't eaten any of them. Commons are invasive specie so they gotta go anyway. Used to shoot gar but not an invasive so I don't shoot them much anymore. Turkeys are starting to gather in the fields. Our season starts mid-April here in Kentucky, but the birds are fired up way earlier than that.

I thought carp were very inactive during winter, especially at night?

[@catskill-mountainman]

Common carp isn't invasive, and some Americans like to catch and release them. We should not kill anything for fun. We should only take a life to sustain our own.

[@CatmanOutdoors]

They’re not native either, and there’s no size or creel limits. These fish are being composted for fertilizer.

[@catskill-mountainman]

@CatmanOutdoors Brown trout aren't native either, but people aren't killing them for fun. It's all about respecting a living creature. That fertilizer will be full of pollution and heavy metals just like most large fish. Killing for fun will always give the hunting community a bad wrap.

[@CatmanOutdoors]

Brown trout are stocked and highly regulated. I had to release a good one that was throat hooked and dying because it didn’t meet the size requirements. Woulda been good on the grill. Thankfully I can do whatever I want with carp.

[@MrYz250fman]

Common carp are not native to the US.

[@catskill-mountainman]

@MrYz250fman never said they were. They aren't invasive. Naturalized in most waters.
