    Ok hear me out. There is a real local fishing technique for carp when you wade into the water near the end of a dock and hold your fist underwater with worms sticking out between your fingers. You just sit very very still, holing your wormy fist a few inches off the bottom. A carp will eventually try to gobble your fist whole. Then you quickly lift the fish out of water and slam it on the dock to stun/kill it.

    They have no teeth to speak of, so no injury to you.

        The last time I went to Florida I wanted to go hiking. We went to a local trail that had signs for alligators and pythons all over the place, and warning to avoid getting leprosy from armadillos. I don’t know how common these issues would be, but it made Canadian trails look like a walk in the park.
