Wow... yawl have those crazy thing to? They jump in our boats, break stuff and all around pain. I never caught one on rod and reel nut we bow fish the heck out of em. Awesome job. Do you eat em?

I have the same question as to table quality on those rascals.  Has anyone cleaned and cooked one.  I understand they are full of big bones; but several you tube videos say the meat is very good.

Nice fish on such light tackle.

Do you eat em

We all eat carp. We have it artificially bred for sale. A good business.
When I do cook carp photos.

I never caught one on rod and reel nut we bow fish the heck out of em. 

This is an interesting fish for sport. But need a special bait.

Igor. Thanks for the video.  Very interesting.

As Justin said " Very Interesting".   There was a lot of thought put into the development of that bait rig.

Nice fish Igor!!!  Reminds me of a "Silver story":

I had just landed a big sheepshead (Freshwater Drum) this fall on the Mississippi River - and had an angler pull up all excited and asked if he could "have" the fish. When I lifted it up - he saw it was a Drum and said "no thanks - I thought it was a silver!"

We got to talking and he explained how he and his wife make "fish patties" out of them and that they were delicious.

Next time I catch one - I'll have to try it out!
