I regularly fillet carp for kittie bait. I'm not surprised how little meat you got from it. I would disagree that half the weight is scales. I think that 3/4 of the weight lies in the gut/belly area. It might look like alot of meat from the outside, but I find quickly that it's just a giant internal beer gut with a skinny fillet. Yes, you can't cut through those stupid armour scales.
