I gotta agree with Rottal.....I'd rather eat my own puke than catch a carp :-X. I don't think there is much of a middle ground on these fish love em or hate em haha. In edit I will say they are still a creature of God but that doesn't mean I have to like them or does it? hahaRottal said:I am the Anti-Carp.
I dont kill em, but i dont get too excited about catching them....especially if im fishin for cats....and for some reason i dont even like to handle them...
carp = yuck
Aha! I see the point now, that I was missing before. Yes. Carp try to escape by swimming away. Very sensible of them, don't you think? Trout try to escape by having a fit, and jumping and tearing around in all directions. Possibly not an optimal survival trait, but entertaining for the fisherman.ePiC said:they didnt burst with speed they didnt jump and run, they just tried swimming away.
