That makes more sense. We call the big un’s “Crocs” so it should have made sense sooner

What is the fascination with carp with Brits and euros?
It’s garbage bottom feeders in the states, they’re ok smoked.
Prisons are using them to feed prisoners.

You tell me. I am a “Brit” and carp fishing has never appealed to me. I’m a sport/predator fisherman. Not a 900 rod. Bivvy. Fully mod conned kitchen kinda guy lol

@OleReynard I have the best recipe for Carp.
Step one- preheat oven to 400
Step two- place Carp on cedar plank
Step three- cover carp with butter and garlic
Step four- cook for 15 minutes.
Step five- take out and let rest for 2 min
Step six- throw out the carp and eat the cedar plank.

I miss going fishing. I couldn’t enjoy it this summer due to medical crap. The previous summer I was out by the lake a lot to calm myself down and it’s away from a lot of people since I don’t dig crowded areas. I can only fish near a spot by my house. I have caught tons of bullheads. A few nice catfish and my prized 38inch walleye. He put up such a fight. I fish for food. I can’t wait till the summer, so I can hopefully get back out there and fill my freezer. When I lived in nyc. I used to take a crab trap and toss it into the water. I would bring home tons of blue claw crabs. I loved those guys! Can’t get them where I live now, since I’m no where near the ocean anymore. Fun times.

I have not been gone fishing for months. Late this afternoon I added some bait to my fishing bucket, picked a small rod and reel and raised the garage door to heavy overcast, wind and light rain.
I drove to a local park on saltwater canal and launched several baits but no fish were landed. I lasted 90 minutes of light chilly drizzle before cramps started. There were several people fishing and I saw one guy landing catfish.
My feathered fishing friend showed up and left in search of food in the shallows. It was a yucky day but I was happy to be outdoors on the water.

I love it if it’s cooked right. Not many people love them since it’s a bottom feeder, but those people I don’t think ever really tried it or cooked it right.
I love the taste when I cook it up. But I also will eat carp. 
(Use the meat in my crab cakes)
