Those mirror carp are cool looking for sure.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Yes it’s a great place to get bait.

Never heard of mirror carp, had to look them up. Apparently they were introduced to North America in the mid-1800's along with the common carp. I guess they just didn't thrive as well as their cousins. Apparently they can reach 80lbs,
Eh...wot?

When I fished them we used a stout #4 short shank hook. For bait we threaded whole kernel corn on it and let it sit on the bottom. They really do fight.
We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.

Nice, I prefer to shoot them with a bow but they put up a heck of a fight on rod and reel I spear them when the water level is right, for every one I spear the wife lands a dozen she’s the carp Queen around here. LOL
