Here in Aus the Carp is classified as a pest and is not allowed to be put back in the water.A lake down the road had a fishing day when all non Australian fish caught were killed.All the fish I have caught were commons up to five Kgs.Have attached a pic of a fish caught any idea what type of carp it is.

Re: Australian Carp
It acted strangely.First time Lake fished only to remove non Australian fish.I had walked along the bank and this fish was swimming along the waters edge.One fisherman put a bread bait in front of it.Fish took it in and blew it out.Later it was caught about 100 metres down the bank.

Re: Australian Carp
Nowt in Oz - surely. They are a pest rather like our immigrant crayfish species - to be killed.
