One time my family was on a river rafting trip on the Colorado river during memorial weekend, and we were catching carp, and one time we decided to fillet one and cook it, it wasn’t too bad. Then again the water was flowing, high and cold (about 65). The texture was not like catfish or trout, it was a little more stringy as I remember.
I don’t know how many people consider this, but there is a reason pioneers planted them in all these lakes, I'm pretty sure it wasn’t to fillet them into catfish bait, but that they are very prolific and grow fast, thus a good food source, and darn near impossible to kill, short of using C4! Oh and tubedude’s gillectomy procedure.
