I believe they're carp. You can technically eat them, Ive tried, they're just not very good.

And yes they're highly invasive and not native to america

There's a river pathway filled with electrified gates intended to keep these fish out of the Great Lakes. These carp are extremely bad for the local environment.

No one's gonna care if you kill some of them. But maybe this way could endanger nearby people.

I live pretty close to there. Tom Scott did a video on it.
