There was a carp kill off several years ago. The kill was supposedly caused by air bubble disease. The final report is not posted or is still incomplete.

Great info. What year was this article written?
Nice info. I watched a show on history channel other night about carp.it's unreal what they do in a lake and also how they effect other fish. I knew I didn't like them but now I really really don't like em.

2015 I believe. Paul Rister, one of the Ky marine biologist attends the KY Shindigs. He keeps everyone informed about the Ky Lake carp activity and of course the crappie. He also does Qs and As. I ate some fried carp at the gathering. Tastes like fish to me.
Somebody open a business and ship these suckers to North Korea.
We have 3 processing plants here in west KY that are shipping them to China as fast as they can process them. Problem is they aren't paying a price that is high enough to get most commercial netters interested in chasing them.Quote:

I get $0.75 for Buffalo, more $1 or. so dressed. $0.75 - 1.00 for cats
