..many states now promote carping complete with special regulations to maintain trophy fish populations.

Catch carp, don't catch carp whatever makes you happy.  Break the rules and win prizes for stupidity.

so three altogether?

I'm not opposed to setting regulations for carp exactly, but there are thousands of native species that need protecting first. Carp are not in any danger of being extirpated soon, so, they can continue on the back burner so to speak.

I am strongly opposed to adding or changing any regulations based on the money generated or the popularity of the change.  Some solid science showing how carp management would help the recovery of native species would be of interest. I am also somewhat opposed to copying the EU community in any fashion or subject; the whole purpose of starting a new country 243 years ago was to be rid of EU values and mores. Those people have always cost America. I am perfectly  willing to allow anyone wanting to emulate Europeans to emigrate there, in fact it would be a good thing.

If I remember correctly “ brexit “ was a harbinger of the last presidential election, bet you were crying on Election night, bet you will be crying at the $$$  to be made treating carp as a sport fish vs the ludicrous amounts of money spent on eradicating a fish that in 90% of USA waters are  Benign or a critical part of the food chain

Make America Carpfishmen Again
