They are in our waters. Pretty much eating all the food that our fish would be eating. KY wildlife did a study with the help of some commercial fishermen. They set their loop nets in some oxbow lakes, fished them for a week. They caught boat loads of the Asian carp and nothing else. If I get them in the boat, they will go into a trash bag and into my garden when I get home. The "S" word could be used on the TN rule for them.

Any of y'all got hongry enough I guarantee you'd try it! Now I ain't never tried it, but last winter we was at duck camp and a older fellow asked us to come over and eat fish with him one night, alright we're getting crappie for dinner, whew we was broke, been over there a week, wrong! We walked in and then he decides to tell us that it's buffalo and it's got bones in it and you better eat fast bc once they start cooling off you can't eat em. But I'm sure there's a way to prepare the carp that makes em good, like the Asians beat the ell out of gar isn't open em up and dump the meat out and then dry it in patties kinda like salmon
