Shayd Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Carp are acutally alot of fun to catch, kinda yucky tasting though. On a Light rig like that it would be like deep sea fishing for the big ones, but on the cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAim Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I can just see the poor bastards at the bar later with thier friends. Tossing back doubles "I was IN THE BOAT, man. It was horrible" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Nice catch, if your ever in the mind to eat one though, you either have to can them like samon, and eat them in pastties later. or smoke them. Neither way really turns me on, and I just let them go. I even tried Bow fishing them, but never grew to like the taste so I quit, no since killing them if I'm not eating them. I prefure crappie, or walleye, and if I'm really hungry for fish I'll eat a bass. But with gas the way it is my truck and boat are safley stored in the garage. I tend to catch the Bass, and make them ride around in the livewell till I catch my limit, then weigh them and turn them loose, so they have to stop at a few new bars on their way home to tell the soty of their 60 mph boat ride with strangers.

Streak Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 We have a commercial fishing group that comes to Utah Lake every year to remove tons of carp by netting them. They then sell them in Asia & restaurants in big cities like New York. Nasty things are only good for compost, chum or other such bait. The seagulls around here won't even touch them.
