OMG if u are not ready for the commitment of owning a pet then don't get one!! You can always find someone else to take care of them if it is too late. There is most likely someone with a koi pond that would be happy to take your goldfish. Now the environment is ruined and all these fish have to die because some idiot wasn't mature enough to take care of a couple damn goldfish.
Lillian Coticchia you're right, I mean it's a Fucking goldfish you're looking after not a child, it's not a significant amount of effort so why feel the need to dump it in the local lake? Some people need to cop on
Many of the goldfish that get into lakes come from koi ponds that get flooded...you think thats the right solution, but thats actually how many of them get free
Overpopulation can destroy an ecosystem not just for the overpopulated organism but for everything around them as well. Doing this sucks but its necessary to maintain some sort of equilibrium.
I agree, so leave them and let the overpopulation aide their deaths. Every time they pull more fish out, its temporarily making conditions better, making more fish babies.
Exactly. Nature self corrects. Mans ignorance and cruelty at work here. Same thing with global warming; we can't even say if it's entirely man made or not, nor if thwarting it is a good thing. We're due for an ice age, global warming just might thwart that ice age. if we stop global warming, we might invite the doom of an ice age. Once again, mans ignorance causing problems. This fact above all is true: Good intentions, philanthropists, etc.....have caused more death and suffering than all of the evil kings and dictators in history combined. The third world grows at a rate of 20,000%. No, that's not a made up figure. When they have 7 kids, and those kids have 7 kids, and so on and so forth, after just a few generations, you end up with explosive population growth. We give them clean water and food and mosquito nets, allowing them to thrive. So those millions of hungry mouths turn into many millions more, perpetually, and instead of a few million suffering from starvation, we end up with hundreds of millions suffering.
sad. but good on you for removing the fish. friend of mine is a local trapper and would probably like the fish for his trap line. how do we get ahold of those fish?
Middlemen in Illinois and Ohio say they're getting about $1 to $1.25 a pound for the fish. Goldfish can grow to several pounds apiece in the wild and Lake Erie commercial netters are getting about 75 cents per pound at the dockside
Coi fish are now also in Tie Lake BC, supposedly for 5 or so years now. All thanks to a lazy lady Lake front property real estate agent, who decided to dump the pond fish into the lake after the original cabin owners left, I'm now very disturbed seeing this
If they had enough damn predatory fish in the lake the Goldfish would never have been a problem! All Gamefish love eating them. Especially Bass, Pike, Muskie & Catfish. Birds like cormorants, Herons, Egrets, Ospreys & Bald Eagles feast on them as well.
Wow, that is unreal. Crazy how they have exploded in population and how dense they can be. Glad you're scooping them out by the thousands. Make me think I should come up there are try out some spearfishing for them. Make a small dent. What is the water clarity in Dragon like in the summer? Do they still stay in the shallows in the summer or go deeper?
Could be worth looking into scientific approaches like they're doing with mosquitoes such as genetically modifying the problem species then releasing them into the population which when reproducing will cause any offspring to not be able to reach adulthood. Chemical solutions would affect more than the one species, and genetically modified viruses run the risk of mutating. Well, they will. That's what they do. It's just a matter of to what extent and if that negatively affects your goals.
Releasing genetically modified animals such as those is illegal and underresearched as of now, though it is certainly a possibility, same goes for the virus. These guys are doingthe best they can.
Don't put your pet goldfish in the lake and people won't have to take them and their fry and their grandfry out of the lake like that in order to save the native fish. This is sad all the way around to have to do this. The people catching and dealing with these fish should talk to cat food makers, and see if they will take them. Or pressure cook them, and can or freeze them for your own cat food/dog food.
Some of those are really beautiful goldfish I hope you get in trouble there is no need for them fish to die like that they have a right to live to its not there fault they are there
Ƿódenson carp are also have a bland taste as well, since they don't get alot of health benefits. Meat isn't as same for all animals just like pork and beef
Honestly goldfish don't do the same damage as other carp. They are small only 6 inches. I have yet to see a lake of goldfish with toxic algee blooms. Why do we punish the species that are able to survive isn't that what life is all about. Gold fish survive while others don't they earned the spot in the eco system.
WHY ARE THEY EVEN BOTHERING TO DO THIS? Sure goldfish are an invasive species. But these guys are pulling fish out of a small area on the shore. What about the rest of the lake? There must be 100 times or more fish out there. This is like trying to put out a warehouse fire with a squirt bottle.
No time to waste, get those things outta here. Carp did the same thing to our rivers and lakes here in Illinois. Large mouth, small mouth bass, crapie, perch, walleye are more important
We are having similar problems in England with people letting their pet goldfish go in canals and ponds but sometimes Birds will eat fish eggs and then poop them out in ponds and some fish the eggs stick to their legs of some type of birds and the eggs then transfer to another pond or lake. So not 100% humans nature always finds away
BunniesAndBubbles why would they sell those big ass fish when literally the same thing will happen again because people would not have enough room in its tank and then release them into the ponds again with the native fish and it would literally start the same problem again
There's no way they could safely store that many fish to move them to a pet store, and pet stores generally don't just take fish from a lake... plus there's no way they could move that many fish to homes.
It would be great if these fish could be turned into fish food or something like that. If a good use is made from then then it is actually profitable to catch them. They could be eaten as well.
Holy Shit ! That's horrible. Should think the other way around. You might feed the entire starving third world people by just removing pets,ups sorry, pest from your lakes,ponds and rivers.
Same shape, they group together. After a few generations, goldfish do not stay gold, they go back to their original coloring. As a type of carp, they'll eat almost anything nearby so there's little chance much else is in that lake.
Grand Pu The thing is these guys don't get it. I doubt any of them have any actual background in wildlife management. By hauling out some of the fish the ones left have less competition for resources and will thrive. Being the invaders have changed the ecosystem the native species won't come back buy just culling some of the invaders. The only way to do it is to poison the lake then restock it with native species and not just the fish but the native water conditions and plants also.
@@reddmanpower606 those species of fish you mention are not even native to that lake. By putting them in there, they will take over the lake and then the likes of remaining rainbow trouts and Kokanees will still get wiped out by foreign fish
You all might be right one a fish is a living thing and if you do nothing with a fish you catch it and release it, if you think about it you also can mess the food chain , but maybe you guys who say that you can get a fishing license are maybe right

Harvest fish > feed pigs > produce pork. The perfect solution.
Pigs literally eat anything
@Pyroboynl_12
They even eat dear and lamps
Pyroboynl_12 pigs will legit fuck with people just to see if there worth attacking for as food (why some farmers have weapons with them)
I understand its a problem but the fish should be thrown into a large compost pile so some benefit can be gained from this mess.
tim ray yea, they would I presume could be also used as pig food.
Mr schwifty or even maggots, as you all know dead fish are smelly, and disgusting
You want it done right? do it yourself instead of complaining
And eaten by turtles and alligators sometimes
Oh trust me. Lots of wild animals will be around to eat them.
Introduce alligator gar to the lake!
That would kill it, this is Canada 😂 this is north man lol

Bongwater Aquatics not all "kids" are stupid. I'm 16 years old, and I'm for one learned most treatments of keeping goldfish.
JustSomeCarrotHere Don'tMindMe they are actually quite hard to care for

Overpopulation can destroy an ecosystem not just for the overpopulated organism but for everything around them as well. Doing this sucks but its necessary to maintain some sort of equilibrium.
If you could kill every single fish it might help... Theyre just making life easier for the fish they dont remove.
I agree, so leave them and let the overpopulation aide their deaths. Every time they pull more fish out, its temporarily making conditions better, making more fish babies.
Funny how this relates to the overpopulation of humans.

C North I was basically ecstatic when I found out about Zika virus. Nature finally found a way to stop us from breeding. Hope it spreads everywhere.
Damn, wish I could get about a dozen of them big orange breeders for you bait tanks...
they could make cat food out of that
sad. but good on you for removing the fish. friend of mine is a local trapper and would probably like the fish for his trap line. how do we get ahold of those fish?
@Glenn Goymer A net.
Dragon lake in quesnel bc is still invested with gold fish (2019)

We are gonna need governmental help

Career change😂

They all will be back in the summer! 😅
Should pick through them for the best coloured ones and sell them for $$ lol
Fish aside, I like these older style videos. The homemade look.
I don't understand why they aren't being harvested properly. There are loads of people who make their own pet food who would pay to come pick them up.
Why is this oddly satisfying?
Those would be great to feed to reptile pets who love some yummy fish
it would be dope if there was a way that they could sell all those fish too but in the circumstances its probably not the best idea
Can't you bury them alive in a massive pit or grind them and use the slush as fertilizer?
How many voice cracks did he have?
Why not use them like cat or dog food?

Can those gold fish be use as fertilizer.
They looked like pests in the lake. Who the hell did this? Insane.
Wtf is wrong with this people. Killing fishes for no reason.
Some of those are really beautiful goldfish I hope you get in trouble there is no need for them fish to die like that they have a right to live to its not there fault they are there
Imagine this is how salmon fishing used to look like on the Columbia supposedly
Can't they be harvested for food? Pet food perhaps?
Ƿódenson carp are also have a bland taste as well, since they don't get alot of health benefits. Meat isn't as same for all animals just like pork and beef
Ƿódenson Westerners basically don’t like to eat bony fish. They consider it as junk fish. They don’t eat it because it involves a lot of work.
Parasites. Maybe good for reptiles & turtles.
Why don't you sell to Aquarium shop?
I knew about the goldfish situation being bad but this is worse than I imagined.
how many times a year does this have to be done?
How cold was the water?
What are you gonna do with all that fish are you gonna sell them???
I was on this lake! didn't know there were so many of goldfish because it was frozen. So many underneath ice. wow
Drain the Lake
Seems a little cruel to just kill them all. Surely a few local aquatics stores would have taken them off of your hands?
Seem like bass would have a field day in that lake
Rotenone the lake. Transfer enough trout into a hatchery to maintain the Dragon Lake brood stock.
How about starting a fertilizer factory?
keep up the good work!
Wow. Is the problem fixed yet or are these goldfish still an issue there?
put 1000's of large mouth bass there +
will solve the problem
Can't these fish be given to animal shelters to make food?
I can tell you that the average size of largemouth in that lake tripled when those goldfish took over
are gold fish edible,
caned carp for example?
we eat sardines
so i was wondering if we can eat goldfish the same way.
Goldfish don't taste very good. Besides the amount of goldfish in this lake is too much to eat in a lifetime.
and was this event put on by the game wardens
Honestly goldfish don't do the same damage as other carp. They are small only 6 inches. I have yet to see a lake of goldfish with toxic algee blooms. Why do we punish the species that are able to survive isn't that what life is all about. Gold fish survive while others don't they earned the spot in the eco system.
Old video, but did this ever get resolved?
Maybe someone should introduce a fresh water otter...
Are they all goldfish? Some of them don't look so golden in color.. sorry for my ignorance..
not all goldfish are gold. goldfish are just a type of carp, and they're usually more brown looking i think.
lol damn, i wish lakes around here were that full
where do you take them once you've bagged them?
Grand Pu this gotta stop brutality of goldfish
WHY ARE THEY EVEN BOTHERING TO DO THIS? Sure goldfish are an invasive species. But these guys are pulling fish out of a small area on the shore.
What about the rest of the lake? There must be 100 times or more fish out there.
This is like trying to put out a warehouse fire with a squirt bottle.
Goldfish were bred from magi carp in China (they actually were bred in China 2000 years ago so don’t think I’m racist or anything)
Why Didn't They Put Them In A Container 😌Looks Like Some Of Them Are Gonna Flop Back In Water And Start Breeding Again😳
Cant you eat them?
So many. I don't know how 1 net can really get to the bottom of it.
They should put them in tanks and sell them on Ebay xx
Puss In Boots yeah!
Imagine filling one up with gas and lighting in on the rest that were drizzled with gas then light it it will get rid of them
Is this still a problem these days?
They don't all look like goldfish though. Or am I wrong?
You are wrong. I have a 10" pet goldfish that looks identical to the big orange ones in the video.
Goldfish lose their colors after about 3 generations
Are there any left there today? I could spot a few prize winners there with good color haha
Are they tasty?
Damn so many fertilizers
No time to waste, get those things outta here. Carp did the same thing to our rivers and lakes here in Illinois. Large mouth, small mouth bass, crapie, perch, walleye are more important

Why not eat them?
they have parasite if not clean properly
Introduce some Pike, Pike absolutely destroy roach and carp populations
What the hell you can feed a whole town with all those fish
Why you kill fish
šahił shahi because they are murdering the local ecosystem and killing eachother anyway?
Seems like they're spawning ...more coming
It would be great if these fish could be turned into fish food or something like that. If a good use is made from then then it is actually profitable to catch them. They could be eaten as well.
Release some Snakeheads and Asian Carp that will solve that nasty Goldfish problem . Pike and Bass would make quick work of them as well .
gosh how can that be?
get rid of goldfish, but keep the carp. carp are good to eat
also, carp can be used to catch catfish
Holy Shit ! That's horrible. Should think the other way around. You might feed the entire starving third world people by just removing pets,ups sorry, pest from your lakes,ponds and rivers.
How do they know that all of the fish they catch are gold fish?

Silvia Scolaro why can't they just put more big fish in there like pike,bass,flathead catfish, to just eat the goldfish up. instead of killing them.
redd manpower because they don't belong in the lake either

Are they goldfish? Or carp?
Panda Andy... Yes. Goldfish ARE carp.
Panda Andy if you think goldfish are, OR,are not carp, then why do you have a panda telescope on your profile???
I like your voice dada
😉
with this many goldfish I might as well filet and try how them goldfish taste like j/k...
I would love to buy one of those giant goldfish
it's a colour carp
No, they are goldfish. Though they are carp, they don't exactly same as commoj carp
You could drop some big mouth bass in there but.... a few years later you will have to deal with them as well.
kei00772288 bass are better eating though. carp are full of tiny bones and shit.
kei00772288 BIG MOUTH BASS HEHAHSHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHA. ITS largemouth boi
StevenLeeOutdoors Thats what Google translated it to hahaha. ARIGATO Obama!
They can't just drop a couple dozen of bigger naturally occurring fish in the lake and have them eat all the goldfish?
No matter how much they kill them they already multiples in thousands 👎🏻and invading the entire lake
Might be a way to poison the goldfish but not the other fish
I hope they don't wasting all that fishes... it's can be food for animals.
I understand they need to go but at least use the bodies somehow...
This is Carp, Goldfish have 2 tail and will die if release to the wild,
One polish fisherman can solve your problem....just one
Why they are taking goldfish out of the lake why they didn't put them back in the lake
If they add some aggressive fish that's slower in reproducing that would eat those goldfish that could help !
You all might be right one a fish is a living thing and if you do nothing with a fish you catch it and release it, if you think about it you also can mess the food chain , but maybe you guys who say that you can get a fishing license are maybe right
*you're
its still very humane to leave to suffocate like that they new what they would encounter
Put on a,event for people to vacation there and see who can get the most fish .can start a fund to collect money for a reward
