Legal fishing method? May 27, 2015 15:24:41 GMT -5 via mobile

If you go down the Wabash River and net Asian carp as they are jumping in the air, is this legal? The law says you can only use a net to assist in landing fish and I cannot find any speices that are exempt including Asian carp. I did note that bowfishing Asian carp clearly has the same rules as other species.

For Asian Carp, I believe this would legal.
