And again I would like to highlight that if someone is taking game in a legal manor it is not my place to tell anyone else how to legally take game. This is strictly my opinion, no disrespect is intended.

Two good ones to start. Hard to pick put the best ones when a Google search comes up with hundreds of page citing carp destructive nature
Actually, my hunting friends do not shoot coyotes, ground hogs or crows and I wasn't aware that was something people did until you wrote this. And I don't pick a fight with anyone killing a musky, I just don't agree with it. Just as I don't agree with people killing thousands of fish that they have no personal use for. If you have to "find a use" for what you kill, it doesn't really seem necessary to kill them in the first place, regardless of how much you tout research that they're destructive.

And I agree with Jrock completely. Just because people can do things legally doesn't remove the responsibility that we all have as sportsmen to protect our resources. Take what you can use and leave the rest.

And once again, as stated my Jrock, this is just my opinion. If people do things legally well than that's their right. I'm not going to exercise my right to take my limit of musky or carp today or any other day for that matter, but you are free to do so. That doesn't mean I have to agree with it. I'm not going to change your mind just as you are not going to change mine. Have a good day everyone. I'm going fishing.

If you want to catch carp to eat it, that's cool. But to kill to make in a fertilizer is just wrong! I am originally from Eastern Europe, and carp is a sacred fish over there. I personally like eating carp, if it's cooked right, and I only fish for carp if I am going to eat it, which happens maybe once a year.

Matt it's not so much of an invasive species issue as it is carp destroy ecosystems. Been scientifically proven in multiple studies the negative affects they have. I don't blame anyone for enjoying fishing for carp as they get larger and are easier to catch then any other species in new jersey. No other species you can catch multiple 20 lbers on any given trip plus good chances at 30 lbers and 40 lbers are caught every year. But i find it to easy. Have used the euro carping techniques and fly fished for them but pretty easy to figure out as long you don't spook them
for real? i agree they do get alrger but they are way more challenging then alot of fish that people consider gamefish

How do you figure more challenging? Throw some corn on a hook and chum them in or if you want to get technical tie up a few hair rigs and make up some dough balls or bollies and once again chum them in. Even fly fishing 90% of them take a pink egg pattern off the bottom the hardest part is casting in front of them

they are way more selective then you give em credit for man i have watched em play with a bait for 20 minutes, i have even watched em eat every piece of chum except the hook bait. i guess bass or stocked trout are much tougher to catch right?

Maybe you gotta change up your dough recipe or try a different hair rig.
Wouldn't say any of those fish would be considered tough to catch on the average day. Certain weather/ Water conditions can make it more difficult

Just received a call from an angler who C & R’ed a 56 lb. Raritan River (didn’t say where) carp.

Would have been a new state record, if weighed on a certified scale, but he didn’t want to kill it.

Saxmatt did the same thing last year.
