These are not the same carp you are familiar with. They are plankton feeders and will not take a bait, so to make them sporting you need to shoot them (or go full carp hunter on them with swords, axes, etc....)
so far these have invaded up the Mississippi River system but have been prevented from reaching the Great Lakes and Canada.
A very non-humorous side to these is the number of pleasure boaters receiving concussions each year. My best friend had his nose broke, and his wife was knocked unconscious two years ago. When they got the the Emergency Room he didn't want to confess what had happened (right, I was boating along when WHAM, I was attacked by a fish who broke my nose, knocked out my wife, then departed) until the ER Doc told them they averaged 3 fish strikes per week in that ER alone.
