Five invasive bighead carp were caught out of Elk River during a guided fishing trip this week! These filter feeders can consume up to 40% of their bodyweight in plankton each day and directly compete with native species. . High Water Guide Service turned the carp over to ODWC for research purposes. . If you catch a bighead, silver, grass or black carp in Oklahoma waters, please report it to ODWC's invasive carp biologist at 580-596-8025. . The information helps us better understand the distribution, abundance and population dynamics of this invasive species. That data guides management efforts to slow their spread and protect Oklahoma's fisheries. . . . #carp #invasivecarp #bigheadcarp #outdoors #fishing
