Love those Asian Beauties

Earlier this week, my daughter Bailey and myself went banging on Asian Carp. We are using an old recurve (given to me by Hillboy), AMS retriever reel, and a no glove on the string. These fish are running in herds (I call them herds because of their size) anywhere from 3 fish to 8 fish. Some of these fish are 60+ pounds and about pulled us me out of the boat. I purchased a gaff this week to help with the landing of these brutes. The local commercial fisherman told me they can't net anymore because these fish fill their nets and have no value.....

They sound like fun, but, man, those things are bordering on being a plague. I imagine that state governments will end up paying commercial fishermen to reduce their numbers. There's got to be a use for them. Catfood, maybe.

I have eaten them and I give you my word it just doesn't get much better tasting.
I thought I was eating Walleye until I was told differently.
God bless,Mudd

The way those things stink I can't imagine they taste good. I'm not a big fan of fish, but I don't believe I'd eat one of those at gun point. Having said that, they are a blast to shoot and it looks like you two cleaned up. Very cool way to spend some father/daughter time. TRW

I heard somewhere that McDonald's buys carp by the tractor-trailer load, for their fish sandwiches. No kidding.

McD's uses hoki and/or pollack. These may not be superstars of the fish world, but are certainly not in the carp family.

Mudd might be right, I just read somewhere that in China they've been over-harvested to almost extinction.
Your daughter's the real beauty, cute kid, thanks for bringing her up right.
