Most of the time i really dislike catching this kind of fish.
It didn’t bother me catching this one. It actually wasn’t as slimy and stinky as a sucker typically is. It was a lot of fun reeling in. I had cast a worm way down stream about as far as i could. When it sucked up my worm the rod bent pretty good. Made me remember that it is pretty important to secure the pole to the boat and not take my eyes off it too long. The current is so fast that its a a chore to pull a good sized fish into the current.

Even though it is a carp, From what I see it looks like a big one.
Reminds me of something… I might be wrong but…
Remember the cop that lived next door to Grandma and Grandpa’s he used to take them carp and cook them outside on some kinda grill or something, I remember Grandpa had a bite and said it was not to bad and that it tasted like chicken.
This might of been before you were born I’m not sure. Do you remember?
Maybe your Grandma remembers.
