On the Colorado River DFG Biologists use shock boats to remove carp from all the backwaters out here to protect the bass/catfish populations and and let me tell you those guys love seeing Bowfishermen. Myself and 6 friends and the local game warden bowfish once a week we pull at least 200-300 lbs of carp from the river and still they have huge numbers....we've seen alot more bass beds in the areas we shoot.

Yep, Big Bear Lake spends a lot of money shocking carp. The BBMWD puts up a lot of money for the annual carp roundup. Several thousand pounds of carp are taken out in 1 weekend. It is slowly making a difference in the lake.
Why would they do this if these guys are saying they are not a problem?

Lots of fun on light line when nothing else is willing to bite, I think I have caught them on almost everything I can think of. GREAT fertilizer for Mom's roses...

Last time i used a carp for fertilizer, it became an MMA match at 3 am in my backyard with all the stray cats participating.

I had front row seats.

So carp are truly entertaining, even out of the water.
