In Italy we have the opposite problem. Catfish often outcompete the common carp, beeing the majority of biomass in some lakes. Good luck with the carp.
@@invasivebrews Nothing spectacular like bowfishing or plana financed by the authorities. At least not some important projects. Basically, with some conditions hydrovirus and other patogens appear and reduce drastically the population.
@@invasivebrews Another important contribution Is the impact of the pre-extant professional fishing. Though they are not very Happy to catch these things. As regards me i use their meat to fish Louisiana crayfish( Another invasive that has exterminated our local crayfish and amphibians) and Blue crabs, but It Is not quite widespread. To conclude catfish( Channel and Brown)plus the blues pose a Major threat for the european eel, classified as a critical by the IUCN. Sorry if i have been too long with my speech 😃
The commercial fishermen use gillnets, I've used a cast net to catch some just for catfish bait and if you want to catch them on rod and reel I've seen people use small grub jigs but they typically don't hit on anything.

Thank you! What are some tactics that are used to control the catfish there?

Cast net is the best way because they really don’t go for lures.
