Thread: Grass Carp

There are two types of grass carp, the regular wild type and a specially treated sterile type. Some states allow both, some states allow neither, some only allow certified sterile type. Check out the Missouri law before proceeding. Most states also have pretty strict limitations on what you can stock on your own into any state water. You generally need a permit that may or may not be hard to get for the species you wish to introduce, depending not only on the state, but generally also on the general watershed involved.

Couldn't lift it out of the water, and couldn't hold it when it would flop. Got it back in, got it by one hand, dropped the rod and two handed it and it flopped again and was gone. Big strong fish. One scale fell off, it was time and a half big as a siver dollar. Was longer than my daughter was tall. It had to be 4 foot long or at least close to it. Pond is still clean, I suppose there may be some of them still alive.
