I don't kill everything, only carp because they are a nonnative invasive species that Fish and Game Departments never stock and kill and remove them when lakes are drained. I know many people that eat carp. Giving them away is better than having them buried in landfills. I tagged and released > 7,800 fish in NJ since 1985. Every year I release thousands of fish in NJ. If you really believe that you are a great carper, show me a pic of a Carnegie Lake carp that you caught. I talked to many outstanding European carpers that never could catch a Carnegie Lake carp.
