That's correct. Check out the "bowfishing" section of //www.newjerseyhunter.com. There's 4 bowfishermen that kill 100 carp a night in the Delaware River. The first carp that I hooked this year stole my hook in a snag. Then I landed the next 26. Last year I only caught 1 carp in the Delaware River. The bowfishermen killed 1000s. Government fish agencies killed millions of carp in the USA. Releasing invasive species doesn't make sense.
