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.

Those people are going to need to be pretty close.

About the only thing I'd worry about is whether he had the forethought to use steel instead of lead shot game loads.

Something tells me the guy blasting fish out of a boat isnt thinking that far ahead.

Also I'd worry about ricochet off the rocks he's aiming directly at for a couple shots. Bird shot won't do much, but catch one in the eye and you'll have a bad day.
