Though carp have been established in Missouri for generations before anyone on this forum, there shouldn't be anything stopping some one from catching some redhorse or white suckers as a substitute for the carp. 

Maybe folks can try and catch all three species of rock Bass aka goggle eye that live in the state. Maybe bantam sunfish or warmouth instead of bluegill and green sunfish.

To me the point is to go out and try and catch something besides largemouth or spotted bass.

Getting people in the outdoors is what it's all about. We on here are very knowledgeable on outdoor stuff. The majority of people in this state are not outdoorsy. I think we tend to forget that. MDC is not only for us. It may spark an interest in someone and become a hunter or fisherman. This statement will make many of you mad. I hear so many gripe how busy the outdoors are. It's for everyone. I had no one to really pass down a real Hunt and fish deal. I taught myself. Newbies need help. No questions are stupid if someone wants to learn. Remember you learned from someone. I started at 17 years old. The outdoors kept me out of trouble.

I don’t mind catching them but someone else needs to unhook it😂.    I was my hands after looking at a picture of them.
