@thesleepyacres: Netting up massive grass carp during electrofishing surveys. This particular pond was very overgrown with vegetation and had not stocked grass carp in years. The ones captured were enormous. Here we pulled in two different fish and saw several more throughout the survey. One major recommendation for this pond was to stock more grass carp on an annual basis to combat vegetation overgrowth. Grass carp are not the answer in every circumstance but due to the extreme biomass of plant growth a higher population of grass carp would be a huge benefit. #grasscarp #carp #electrofishing #pondmanagement #nature #wildlife #fishing #Outdoors #pond #iowafarmponds #aquaticplants
