New State record grass carp:
While I was at the Lebanon Fisheries Lab this morning 2 guys from Mercer County came in with a grass carp that pegged a 50 lb. scale.
Pat Hamilton was giving the fish a proper id. They sent the 2 guys to Hackettstown because the Lebanon facility didn't have a certified scale that went to over 50 lbs. Current record is 54 and change. Grass carp, aka White Amur is not your common carp with the barbel. Grass carp were introduced to keep the weeds down in farm ponds, pretty much the same way our common carp came to be. Not an invasive species because it doesn't displace native species.

Re: New State record grass carp:
There use to be an abundance of carp in Goggle Brook Park in Hawthorne when I was younger... probably about 14-15 years ago. I hooked into one @ 8 lbs and it was AWESOME to catch. I still remember that. They would hang out under the bridge waiting for stuff to just float down stream.
Sorry for the long story, but I use to fish for them with corn and we hooked into them a fair amount.
