Such a catch 22. It's fun to catch em so you wanna let em go and piss off the B heads. But you'd also like to think the other way, carp destroy weed beds, and like mplant said, help them get their daily dose of toxins. One meal a week bucket heads, do some research. When I fished with my dad when I was younger, he always threw carp and bullheads on shore for the animals, which in this case would be bucket heads.
 
Wow, funny thing is I just read your bass reviving post right before reading this one TGE. I guess it's kinda like everyone helping hot people and passing fat nasty people. If a carp swallows my hook I take it personal and I get it back. Other than that, I don't think I could kill a fish. To each his own, and thanks for doing the dirty work.
 
Ran into some of these guys at churchill woods the other day. They were targeting carp which I thought was a great thing. I fished a few hours without even a bite so I asked them for some corn for my other rod, and told them they could have what ever I caught. Caught one small one, bout 4 pounds, and they caught 5 since they had muskie poles that actually made it across the river right under the trees. I felt bad because they seemed like nice guys so I told them to look at the signs about carp on the way out, but they didn't understand me, figures. Until I see something wrong, I can't do anything, it's not right.
