Re: fish tried to steal my rod and reel
Common carp are not on the invasive species list, Asian carp and grass carp are which are a completely different species. Carp like largemouth bass and brown trout are not native to NJ and were stocked as a food fish, often to replenish fish populations in locations that were fished out. In most places carp have been around for over 100 years and they are found in some of the best fisheries in the US. They are able to coexist with other species and baby carp are actually a great food source for any predators. Unfortunately a lot of people dislike carp, often due to false information they learned from others. If you have any questions about carp feel free to ask.
