Thanks for the very interesting post about the attempt to manage the Carp population in Utah Lake.
I personally think the effort is laughably feeble given the prolific population of the pest, but I really hope I am wrong about that.
As for enjoying catching one.... I enjoyed catching Carp.
And then I turned 12.
Anything you can catch on a shoe string, a rusty hook you found tangled in an exposed bush in a declining lake, and a bit of left-over breakfast is not a sport fish.
I've caught Carp that way at Lake Powell more than once.
