I like your style. Great pics and narrative.
While I don't pursue poopfish...to the exclusion of other species...I have been knowed to deliberately try to catch them on occasion. I have had some memorable days when these scaly buggers have been cruising shallow and visible. A small jig hopped in front of them usually gets slurped and the battle is on.
Some folks compare their shallow water runs to bonefish. I have caught bonefish. And I think a carp tied to a bonefish...tail to tail...would pull that silvery fish inside out.
I have used carp many times to help train youngsters or older newbies in the arts of fighting larger fish. And until some elitist poisons their good memories, most who have graduated from carp still harbor fond memories of those sessions.
Seems to really be some tanks in BRBR. Have you worked Flaming Gorge for those bigguns?
