sees this and replies, he will tell you how differently these fish are viewed in Britain and Europe.
Oh I know lol. The most revered gamefish in all the land! I wish people here would view native fish in the same way europeans do. Gar and buffalo are special and fight wayyyy better then bass. So do redhorse and suckers!Sadly, that's the attitude pretty much everywhere in North America. If
I got an eflux 6010 and all the controllers and what not. This guy https://current-usa.com/eflux-aquarium-dc-flow-pumps-with-flow-control/
im a hard core carp and pike angler I like the mindset and fishing Technic used in Europe so I do lots of float fishing for pike and tend to use method feeder sfor carps my pb carp is a little over 20 pounds and like 30"pb pike is 35" not sure on weight
I was fishing for pike with a friend, he snagged a big red horse, even though the fight was good he was disappointed lol. I know Asian carps are invasive, but the fights they put up and how easy they are to snag, will make fishing fun and give you lots of catfish bait.
wife got me a petsmart lava rock few years back.... that’s about it.... she’s not .... well...

Before commercial fishing really took off in the uk carp were few and far between. They were considered a very wily and clever fish, people just didn't catch a lot of them back then because their numbers were nothing like they are nowadays. But when you did hook into one, jesus, you knew about it. One minute you'd be catching small roach and perch and the next the line would be stripped from your reel at breakneck speed. If you only had light tackle you had no chance.
Early commercial fisheries recognised the attraction that such a hard fighting fish, with a potential to grow huge too, could potentially have in their efforts to lure anglers to their venues. So lakes were stocked with them at an alarming rate. The rest is history. Pleasure fisherman like myself were replaced by die hard carp fanatics. The carp fishing business just exploded. Back then it was just common, mirror and leather carp. The smaller and truly beautiful crucian carp, my favourite, also was introduced along with koi and the grass carp.
The temperatures in the uk mean the carp max out at around the 60lb mark, which is huge. But the die hards wanted more. They'd read reports of true leviathans being caught in warmer European waters such as in Spain and France. I believe the current European record is over 100lb from an Hungarian venue.
This carp boom came with a heavy price though. A lot of Europeans eat carp, they are considered a delicacy. And the influx of Polish, Bulgarian and Lithuanians into the uk have meant that many of the top top commercial carp fisheries have had to put state of the art security measures in place, fish stocks were being decimated by these hungry newcomers.
This is going back years though. I don't really keep abreast of what's going on in the fishing world much now. Though looking at the miriad of fancy gear in the angling section of my local LFS, i'd say carp fishing is still as popular as ever.
