I've caught one in Florida...a fish that grows big and fights well...why not?

After all, people INTENTIONALLY stock a fish that grows big and fights well and one that doesn't belong...and fight tooth and nail to keep the hatchery alive just to stock more...aka the Chinook Salmon.

What's another species to add to Ontario's already messed up biodiversity?

People were saying the sky was falling for Common Carp...and the Round Goby...yeah, ok. The Ruffe hasn't spread beyond that harbour in Lake Superior either...and the Rudd is still very restricted in their spread.

BTW, I'm going to challenge the Silver Carp in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know how fun they can be as a hook and line catch.

Agree, I have tried carp fishing before, they are huge great fighters. You won't got a bass that big anyway. LOL.
