I think anyone who kills a carp or gar should get a medal from the state.

How about we put a bounty on them? IMO - They are more destructive to the environment than Wolves / Coyotes!

Well, to be fair. This is a white amur aka grass carp. Not the common carp that are a naturalized species in our man made lakes.
Ray Bob hasn't had a stocking of grass carp by the state as far as I can remember so killing it is what is required by law.
That said this one looks to be around 30- 40lbs or so I have seen a few up there that probably go 70lbs+

I catch small carp,drum,buffalo all the time for bait, and I can understand protecting habitats but I believe that one of that size should be allowed to live on
