Not the same fish as the article, Asian Grass Carp, or white Amurs, are stocked in the Salt River Project canals for weed control:

Weed-eating fish clean canals

There is a canal within walking distance of my house and I sometimes fish for them there. They bite readily on white bread pinched onto a number 6 hook. They get huge and put up a great fight. I pull them up out of the canal, step on them so I can retrieve the hook, then kick them back in. I would eat them except that they are so disgusting and they grow a coating of slime that really stinks. That's why I handle them the way I do.

This guy caught a good one:

When I was a kid it was illegal to throw any carp back into Lake Michigan because they ate bass eggs...opposite of catch and release....catch and toss to the raccoons. Not sure if they still have that law.
