Most folks want grass carp in their ponds. Unless there are too many of them or he really wants them out of there, i would leave them alone.

The best way I have found is to put chicken livers or corn on a circle hook, and fish the bottom almost the same way you do for catfish.Make sure you have a big rod and reel and some good line.
