Poor Guy

This actually happened months ago during the summer. We had pretty bad flooding in West Michigan and this guy got stranded in the middle of the road when the water began receding.

Looks like a carp? maybe?

Poor guy, i remember when i saw these kids at the beach spearing carp and beating them on the head with those mini baseball bats.

I love carp, when I go kayaking during their breeding season, they always hit my kayak when getting frisky. They are huge too, probably 40+lbs so when they hit the yak, you move a bit. With the explosion of Asian carps in some water ways, I dont see why they dont harvest them and use them for food instead of just killing them and disposing of them like many wildlife management do.

Wow that's a big Carp. Did anybody go out there and rescue it?

I used to live near an area that was low laying and on one side was a river and the other side a field and the water at least once a year would go high enough that fish would get to the other side and then when the water went down there would be birds all over eating the fish that got stuck in the field.
