Clearly we need to develop some "corn kernel" feed trained triploid carp! They mow the ponds for 10-15 years, and then are easily caught for the next generation. grin

That would be nice. Even electroshocking isn't a sure thing. I shocked a customers pond 3x over a 6 year time frame and it wasn't until the last time that we shocked 2 TGC that the customer thought were dead. One was 50+#, the other was 39#. We had tried to establish underwater weeds for years with no success. This was a 4 acre, 12' deep pond. There might be more TGC in there as he doesn't remember how many were put in.
