Uh,yeah....riiiiiiiight!:)
man these things are a blast to catch at any size aren't they
also once i was fishing in the Ohio river when i was about 14 and we were catching alot of nice carp so i rigged up a empty bleach bottle with a leader coming from it and a hook on the end the next carp we caught was somewhere between 5 and 8 pounds give or take a bit so i hooked the bleach bottle in its mouth and turned it loose we laughed hard as it swam away we watched it for a long time finally it went behind a barge and stayed back there long story short the things you do when a kid i myself wouldn't do it now but it was funny then LOL
top pictures tail looks to bright red and body to silver to be common if it is that just goes to show how the same fish looks different in different places
2nd picture looks like a buffalo
but thats my opinion and im probably wrong
Definitly a Common Carp. He does have a strange color. Very Nice
Looks like a common (German) Carp , most here are more yellow all over.(picture angle or light may make it look lighter) I catch them in gill nets trying to catch Catfish and Buffalo.Quote:
