What kind of fish is that? We do not have those anywhere around here.

Congrats,

Bisch

I usually know my fish species, but what is that?

I've never seen a fish wearing a blue T-shirt before. What is that fish anyway????

These are Asian Carp " jumping carp" . Can reach weights up to 80#s. Our camp on Mississippi River has two large culverts we fill our fishing oxbows up with in high water times. These fish love to jump into the current. I have been pounding them the last two weekends. These fish are non native and a ecological nightmare for the Mississippi and neighboring tributaries..........but man are they fun to shoot with a bow.. i lost a 6'er....i would have mounted him

Have you tried eating them? everyone I've talked to says they are great. Haven't shot one yet..,

6 feet?! Wow! I didn't know they got that big! Nice Dog!

Awesome fish! Looks like a blast.

Thanks Gun, got to brag on "Pop" AKC Master Hunter....he's a new dad at 7 years old this week

These fish can get huge once they reach maturity. They are new to our waters. Catfish farmers brought them over in the 70's to clean up ponds...big mistake!.. we are just now seeing mature fish in our waters

Wow....please eradicate them before they make it into the Great Lakes system.

Seriously, those are great fish for bowfishing. Unfortunately, that is about the only good thing that can be said about them (not sure about the eating part).
Kill 'em all Joey!

If someone had access to fishing those brutes and were to offer up a package on the St. Jude auction I'll bet there would be a couple of bidders. (Hint!

)

ermont · « **Reply #18 on:** May 13, 2013, 11:56:00 AM »

Those look like fun!

joebuck · « **Reply #19 on:** May 13, 2013, 11:58:00 AM »

Oh i would love too especially with new cabin finished......but........can you guarantee me high water mark of 40' at Helena Ark on the river gauge in May? it's a sporadic thing.
