Good point. I've also run into many anglers who don't know the difference between the many species of fish under the name "carp", whether it's the buffalo carp which is a native specises to the United States, common carp and mirror carp which have been in the US for almost 200 years and are in most bodies of water in NJ including lake Hopatcong, Asian carp which are an invasive species causing a problem in the Midwest and are completely unrelated to common carp and buffalo, and grass carp which are mainly vegetarians. Some people just see the word "carp" and get all worked up but have no idea what they are talking about.
