This has nothing to do with Sigs.
Do any of you fish for Carp?
See these Monsters feeding in shallow water, but never see any one catching them.
In 1958 I caught a little one.
Someone said you cook them on a board, throw the fish away and eat the board.
My self I fish for Channel Cats, and release them to make more.
Just curious.

I have caught Carp and eaten them. They have a ton of small bones that you need to be careful of, but they do taste pretty good.

I've fished for them on light tackle and they are a blast to catch.

They may be considered trash here but in Europe they are actually farmed and widely eaten. I recall having fried carp in Germany and it was delicious and I think classic Jewish Gefilte Fish is traditionally made from it.

My European wife loves Carp. Fresh Carp is sold at a large Mexican/Asian market on Nolensville Road & she bought some a few times. I cannot eat Carp because of the lifetime being told they are trash fish.

I have caught them on light tackle using a white beetle spinner on the James River above Buchanan, VA.

They do not eat dead things told they are algae and vegatation.(Bottom Feeders with no teeth)
Now Cat Fish eat dead things.
Carp was an Air Force term for Officers!
I know they are fun to watch.

Caught a hundred of them, never ate one. The reason I'll never be able to eat Wheaties cereal.
It's what we used for bait. I still remember that smell of Wheaties and lake water. Yuck!

I just saw a news story about a genius chef in Chicago that wants to rename the invasive Asian carp and market it as a delicacy.

So when you see Copi on a menu near you just know,
ITS CARP !

Bow fishing for carp is a hoot and I have snagged a few when fishing for northerns or walleyes. They put up a hell of a fight. I have heard they are good eating and I would eat one as long as I didn't know what I was eating.

Never purposely fished for carp and our lakes are full of them.

I've seen several recent fly fishing videos that show they're a pretty fun game fish.

I saw a news item a few years ago about some enterprising person who was harvesting the invasive Asian silver carp and selling it back to the Pacific Rim as "Kentucky White Fish".
