Congrats to you and the boys on those carp. They are one good fighting fish that does not give up all the way in. I used to shoot alot of carp bowfishing and brought some home for pictures from time to time & then I'd give 'em away. What happened to the fish those boys took home?
The one I got went straight back into the pond. :biggrinQuote:

Don't like regular Yellow German Carp , but Grass Carp (White Amur) are real white solid flesh .I rib out and fry like any other fish. Ribs are thick and meat more solid like chicken.Quote:

What bait do you use
I use nothing but corn, but the one I got in post 2 came on a small piece of hot dog.Quote:
