Them carp is good eatin'.

It was almost as big as Jordan Swindle's lol

haha. . . probably true. . .

2 observations about Swindle:

1). It's probably 102 degrees and the dude is wearing Jeans and looking cool! 102 ain't nothin in Florida.

2). I'd hate to be a fishing pole because those two mitts wrapped around it make it look like a toothpick. Kid has some monstrous hands.

I dont like Carp but have been told that those caught out of farm ponds if cleaned right are edible. In Europe and the far east they are considered a good food fish. I used to fish below the wickets in the Ohio river on the Indiana side from Louisville for Sauger. When they would shut the water coming through the wickets down carp and other fish would get trapped in pools below the wickets. The Vietnamese would come in and take out wash tubs full of carp. I wouldnt eat any fish out of the Ohio river but the Vietnamese seemed to love them.

What's the life expectancy rate there?

We've got Carp so big in the lake at the Country Club back home that we used to just fish em out with fishing nets. They're slow and dumb so its no problem.

Exactly. We used to canoe lakes and schools of them would skim the top of the water right next to the boats. We used to whack'em with the paddles just for fun. Never really stopped them, though.

I'd eat them for survival, but for eating there are other fish in the sea.
