Todays fishing + Koi problem
Message:
Hit Indian Wells today got 2 LM Bass 4lb and a 4 1/2lb via boat.
Omw home hit Frogs Pond in Trumbull caught a bunch of stuff <1lb and after thinking damn why are all these so small I noticed 2 giant Koi carps in there. As far as I know over just a couple years these 2 could really alter the habitat in this small pond. Idk who released these here but I'm kinda pissed off. I'm 30 and have been fishing here since I was 5, really don't want the pond/lake to go to crap... I mean carp... Lol
Any ideas guys? Should I
A) kill em
B) call someone state/town etc
C) bring them to another waterway
D) none of the above?

I would say none of the above… I’m not sure why you are so concerned about two carp? I don’t know how small this pond is, but one of my favorite local ponds to kayak fish is not very big and has MANY carp in it, but also plenty of good sized bass. I mean last weekend I caught two 2+ pounders on back-to-back casts, along with several more between 1-2 pounds throughout the morning. Just yesterday my girlfriend caught a 3.5 pounder out of there. Yet, I’ve also caught carp ranging from 1-10+ pounds out of the same pond. They can and will coexist, no need to do anything.
If this is a very small pond then I would be more concerned about the bucket brigade taking all the keeper size bass home to eat. That will decimate the bass population in a small body of water faster than anything else (well other than a deep freeze/fish kill).

Cool thanks for the info. I was checking out some stuff posted from the dep about different species in areas they're not native to. Gave them a heads up on it. The pond is pretty small, google Frog Pond in Trumbull. One more thing now that I think about it didn't catch a single Perch. :/
