106 pound silver carp from KY/Barkley Lakes

Folks around here have been worried some time about the Asian carp population explosion on our lakes. The silvers are the ones that jump, bigheads rarely do. Everybody says it would be really bad if the silvers got as big as the bigheads. Guess this fish dispels some of that.

The guy who caught it is a well known tournament bass fisherman as well as the owner of the National Quilt Museum in Paducah.

Wow, would really hate to have that one jump up as you're motoring along minding your own business.

The wife said I would just have to buy a new pole cause she isn't holding onto that. :dono

Wow, great post 84 yrs young and wrestling a 106# monster, good for Him

That is a Bighead not a Sliver Carp. Still a monster fish !
