enjoyed the whole video haha your happiness and energy is so bright like the sun! haha omg that carp was so powerful! hey you might not have a photo but at least you have a video haha what soundtrack did you use for that giant carp escape scene?
The carp really was powerful! Glad you enjoyed the video. For my videos we use a website called music bed… you can get a subscription and put the music into videos. I don’t remember the exact name of the song but it’s from that website.
I mean you can... I certainly wouldn't because of the industrial factories located in the harbour, and the highly populated cormorants. They probably wouldn't taste good or be healthy fish.
@@AverieRose you got any tips for fishing spots around Hamilton for edible stuff? My girlfriend and I just got out sport licenses, we tried down by harbour and fisherman's pier but no such luck yet!
It’s too bad I don’t know the exact weight… if it was 40lbs that would have been a giant! You lost one that was twice as big as a 40lber!! OMG that’s a real giant! Hope you get em next time!
I’m not quite sure exactly how they got to North America but I believe they were brought here in the 60’s to control algae, plants and small crustaceans in ponds.
Most of the ones caught so far have been sterile fish released from ponds or wet markets Any naturally reproducing fish have been in the west end of Lake Erie coming from waterbodies connected to the Mississippi River Delta.
Mississippi River floods of the 1990s. They were used in ponds to control weeds and algae. Floods allowed them into the Mississippi. From there, into Lake Erie.
Great job educating people on how to identify Asian carp and value the common carp as a good species people can enjoy fishing for!!
I love fishing for common carp! I hope I helped people identify the difference between asian carp and common carp.
Great vid! Going to try this weekend but more on the Burlington side
Good luck! Its lots of fun!
that's too bad, that was a really big carp. You caught it so it counts! Loved the video!
Glad you enjoyed the video! I’m definitely counting it lol! Too bad I didn’t get to see how big it was though!
Big fish👍🏻

in my country thats is a delicacy
Sweet video!!!
Thank you! 😁🎣👌
Time to get specialized carp equipment.
Was literally shouting at the screen when it slipped through that net...
It was horrible when the fish went through the net… but it’s my goal to catch him this summer. And this time I’ll bring a better net lol.
That was to bad. You did catch it so it counts. Go after him again i know you can do it. Thanks for a great video always enjoy watching your clips.
Yes, it was huge.
Thanks! I was pretty upset at the time and swore I wouldn’t go back… but now that it’s winter I’m starting to think about big summertime carp again!
Can you eat carp and other fish you pull from Hamilton harbour?
I mean you can... I certainly wouldn't because of the industrial factories located in the harbour, and the highly populated cormorants. They probably wouldn't taste good or be healthy fish.

I give you 40lbs on that and I know the feeling I lost one at the net that looked twice as big as a 40lb that I had caught.
It’s too bad I don’t know the exact weight… if it was 40lbs that would have been a giant! You lost one that was twice as big as a 40lber!! OMG that’s a real giant! Hope you get em next time!
How did these Asian carp species get there in the first place?
The way these fish live is harmful to their own environment, let alone ours.
I’m not quite sure exactly how they got to North America but I believe they were brought here in the 60’s to control algae, plants and small crustaceans in ponds.

You should look into grass carp as most if not all of them are sterile
And grass carp were put here by us as humans
I thought u said to not release it 😑
