20,000 LBS OF CARP THAT ‘DIDN’T GET AWAY’

 One man caught more than 20,000 pounds of carp in a Middle Tennessee lake, according to his post on Facebook.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency shared the post by Neil Matlock saying, “#waroncarp Good haul Neil Matlock!”

Matlock said the fish were caught in the Kentucky Lake (Near Paris Tennessee)

Asian Carp is an invasive species of fish that TWRA uses many methods to remove from bodies of water across the state. However, they’re not yet known to be established in East Tennessee.
