I know how this is impacting the lakes here in US, in Brazil we have them mostly in private lakes and they are considered a game fish, people pay to fish them in these private lakes, maybe due to our huge population of aquatic predators they do not become a thread - but there is a specific technique to fish them with rod, we use a system called "shower" translated literally from portuguese, it is a dough that attrack them and when they come to filter the food they got hooked.
The dough consist of sweet potato, banana, sweet condensed milk, powdered peanut butter and powdered milk, of course, there are many recipes but this is a very efficient way to catch them! I attached a photo of this system here.
Thanks for all the replies and information!
