It was a 15 lb carp. I had no clue what I was doin'. I was new to fishing. What a blast of a fish to start your fishing with! Woohoo!!

Now, if I could only catch something other than carp and bullheads, life would be grand. []

Carp are never respected. they kill off the bass population in the lake. and they eat anything and everything! they are soooo annoying!!! I know some guy who catches them and just flings them over his shoulder so that they smack on the sidewalk behind him hard enough that they die! its soooooo... uhh..... well, you fill in the blank!

How do the carp kill off the bass population?

[davetclown]

carp are natorious for killing off many populations of fish in lakes and especialy rivers.

they do this by finding fish beds and sucking frey eggs out and eating the entire birth of the season.

carp have been a plauge on fish populations since their introductions to nothamerican waters. many of our natural trout streams have been totaly dessimated by foraging carp.

The biggest fish I ever caught and had no choice but to release(snagged in the tail, and no open season on that river) was a lake sturgeon that was almost 13 feet long. It was caught on 8 pound test in late November when my cousin & I were fishing for walleyes on the day before deer season. I fought the fish for 45 minutes(low metabolism because of cold water, otherwise it wouldn't have been caught at all), and my cousin kept on jigging walleyes in as I was being pulled around an eddy. 2 feet up from the tail, the fish was big enough that I would have had a tough time reaching around it with my arms. If it would have been legal, I would have had to beach it, as we were in a 14 foot john boat. I have no earthly idea how much that fish weighed. I just took my jig out of it, and watched it sink off into the water. My cousin has caught alot of sturgeon in his days, and it was by far the biggest he has seen in his life.

Otherwise..10#+ pound walleye; 8# Sauger(male); 13 1/2 pound northern pike; 1 1/2 pound crappie; 15 # + Chinook salmon; 1# perch; 1# bluegill; 4 1/2 pound smallmouth; 50#+ buffallo carp; 25#+ carp.
