Or certain times of year, baseball bat or axe handle. Much more "sporting" than firearms. In my book of rules, carp are one level below crows.

My wife's cousin in south Jawgia swore by his twenty-five thutty-five. He'd found some round-nose, full-patch bullets to load. Worked great on "trout", he said, although I think what he called trout were actually bass.

I was attempting to get catfish to come to a specific are of the creek by feeding them. SOme catfish started showing up, but lots of carp did.
After a few weeks of regular feeding the carp were swarming in force. I'd throw a coffee can full of floating catfish food out and watch the carp coming in. You could track them under the surface of the water and when they surfaced for some food, I'd pop them with my .22.
By the way, Carp bleed...ALOT!

Dynamite is ok, but not as good as a concussion grenade. Especially when fishing in wet weather. Frag grenades have a large danger area so aren't as easy to use. Yes, they're a bit heavy to lug around, but the convenience of no fuses, blasting caps(that are dangerous by themselves) and needing fire or electricity to get them going more than makes up for it. Don't use 'em out of season though. They attract too much unwanted attention.

Back about 35 years ago, the Lower Colorado River Authority lowered Lake LBJ to the original channel in order to do prep work for a generating plant. The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department guys figured this would be a good time to get rid of trash fish and then restock the lake. They advertised, so people could salvage the fish.
TP&WD was there with a few boats rigged to spray Rotenone. Rotenone paralyzes a fishes' ability to get oxygen from the water.
There was an incredible fleet of boats out salvaging fish. First to come up were bass, crappie and perch. Then, catfish. Last were the carp, buffalo and gaspergou.
There were three refrigerated semis there, buying fish. I saw carp as long as four to five feet, weighing up to 80 and 100 pounds.
Rotenone is a good lazy-guy's fishing bait.

What the heck are you guys thinking!!!!!!!!
You ever seen what a wounded cat can do to an unwary fish shooter. By golly I've got a friend who knows a guy who's brothers cousins mom was nearly ripped in two by a gut shot cat.
That sucker came out of the water flaped up onto the deck flipped over to this guys mom and plum latched onto her upper thigh. Bit her so hard that she dropped her Budwieser and spit that Marlbro right into the lake. Plum near knocked her hair curlers out. If it wasn't for her boy friend and his quick and judicious use of a boat anchor on a chain that ole gal might well have had some permenant scaring. (besides the anchor marks on her head).
Y'all be carefull out there hear.........

H&H LOL !
Ironic though, you ain't too far off...
Just what is the statute of limitations on fishin' reg's anyway...
I used to be a "river rat", back in my drinking days. Stay out all night and fish the river for big cats. My biggest was 36 # , I have seen the 40 - 50 #-ers pulled out. Seen a few big gar come out too -
So there is a place for a "headshot" on a big cat. Got to get him to hold still to drive that stake in him on a log. Ahh...nothing like the sound of a chainsaw at 4 in the morning ... facilitates cleaning you understand.
Now some folks just plain stupid, you don't take a 12' john boat out in the midst of the river with the flood gates half open. Get ahold of a big cat and liable to get sucked under. Hell old boy had to fire up his bass boat and pull 'em in...
Course we snicker and grin that night when some old boys let their buddy pass out, in a chaise lounge, with his 16' rod and 50 # test line tied to it...tap...tap tap...yaaank...thought I was gonna get to see if in fact one could ski on a chaise lounge. 50# cat will pull a fella in along with the chair, rod and reel...
Hell I had to go over and shoot that cat- twice...to get him to quit pulling...them rods and reel get a bit pricey.
Politician's ruined the fishing, put in a hydro-electric plant. Didn't want folks shooting guns and stuff...put a liquor store out of bidness too...the "all night" variety. Has some special "brews"...no required but most folks returned the mason jars...southern folk real good about being neighborly and all...

The AF issued survival vests have a self-righting rocket propelled flare kit we called a gyro-jet. If fired into water they became rocket propelled tracer solids for pike in the shallows. During an excercise in northern ND one summer, we musta fired off a hundred of em, with poor results. I don't believe one fish was harmed, But I'm sure we scared the dickens out of them. I don't think the NCOIC of Life Support was too happy a bunch of vests came back with all the gyro-jets used up. Sure was fun though.

I used to go to school with a couple of fellows who claimed that they fished with improvised explosive devices made out of mason jars and gunpowder.

Try one of those old lemonade bottles with the captive marble that sealed the neck.
Wire it to a rock for weight.
Add a little silver-carbide nugget and a little water.
Hold upside down untill the carbide generated enough gas pressure to seat and seal the marble.
Throw the lot in the creek in a hurry....
So my father tells me.
