Hybrid Carp?

[DanDanUK]

Well after looking at this old thread, I guess I will be planning to go carp fishing shortly.

carp all the way mate.

just wondering to all you US carpers, here in the summer months we fish for carp but in the winter we use our carp equipment to fish for pike do you do this too or is it just a UK thing ?

carp are an invasive species....but they are still fun to catch
and use as bait

In Japan you eat carp as sashimi

I hate it in the US when I see dead carp everywhere/everytime on the ground when I go fishing.
Now I'm starting to get that they're not washed up here, people actually just leave them here..

I agree I have caught fish (have no idea what they were) and others fishing have said kill it its not native but I just let them go back .
I am not going to kill for sake of killing
