Might be stupid, I have only caught maybe 3 carp that I can remeber what is some of the distingushing characterisitcs of ones we can keep or ones that shouldnt be there?

Luckily this was a sterile Grass carp stray from a very bad weed growth control plan. Not the Silver or Bighead Carp known for their arials but the damage they cause is no less than Bighead if they become established. Grass Carp are very similar to Common Carp in appearance and behavior, here is a link identifying carp classified under the Asian Carp umbrella.

Fun Fact:
All of the negative impacts caused by Asian Carp outlined in the article are also done by Common Carp

Technically, the common Carp was not an invasive, it was introduced, around the same time as other "introduced" species, such as Steelhead. Carp are likely more numerous as they don't suffer from a short duration, concentrated cull, or "season opener" when thousands of them are taken from the water, stripped of roe and then thrown into the bushes to die.

nope, theyre invasive. Spread far beyond their original stocking areas and just because a fish was once stocked that doesnt mean they arent invasive. The Grass Carp in this article for example was a stocked, sterile fish. This Asian Carp issue should likely bring the Common Carp issue back to life.

+1...carp eventhough was introduced, had greatly affected the population of other fishes (native and introduced). they have lived beyond they're means. and not a lot of people really fish for them and not that they're really easy to fish for your average angler.

I agree with everything except for the them not being easy to fish for. I could take you to a pond that is infested with them with nothing but a fisherprice rod, hooks and some bread and catch carp all day long! lol

i know what you mean. every pond i see has carp. although where i fish for other species...i see the big carp that don't seem to be interested with corn or bread.
