I wish they were kidding.

I don't think they should even be returned to thewater once caught, but if it's legal, then it's legal, butmandating that a body of water be catch and release only sounds like a death sentence for the other fish which appeal to more people, and to the other ecology in the lake.

We can hope that education and abig pictureconservation approach prevails over time.Teach peopleabout the detrimental role carp play in the degradation of the fisheries, and one day they may understand and make more informed decisions.
