LOTS OF CARP

This one is dedicated to Hive account@andyfishman!

This species is a pretty common and popular fish in many areas of the world, and I know that I've seen Hive account@andyfishman post some shots of these before. Let me take a quick look for one of his...

Actually, I didn't have to look any further than his avatar, but I found the one above anyway. I'm not sure if Hive account@andyfishman and Hive account@papa-pepper will ever get the opportunity to catch some carp together, but we can still enjoy the same hobbies from opposite sides of the world!

THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST I'VE EVER CAUGHT!!!

Here my little Monster Truck the Pepper provides some perspective for size. Looks like I got fourteen of them when I called it quits. Not bad for a little fun at the lake. For anyone who isn't familiar with these fish, they are basically like a giant bronze goldfish that can put up on incredible fight.

Back in Wisconsin, there were a lot in the Wisconsin River. Unfortunately many people considered that water to be very polluted, but we still enjoyed catching fish there just for fun. Carp were one of the best fights we could get into with a fish. Also, we used to "wrestle" them sometimes too when they were in the shallows. Basically, we would try to sneak up on them and pounce on them. It sounds tough, but we caught quite a few that way, even as kids!
