More than 300 invasive carp were pulled from the Mississippi River near Trempealeau last Thursday, the largest single capture of the nuisance fish in Wisconsin waters to date.

The catch was made possible by tagging previously caught fish and throwing them back, according to a news release from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The agency tracked those fish to find and capture 323 silver, grass and bighead carp, the result of partnered work with the Wisconsin DNR, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
