They stink.Jay_In_Parker said:I was reading a report in the reports section on 11-mile and it turned into a thread about carp. People snagging them, bow fishing for them and other people saying when you catch one to NOT throw it back. Why???? Why shouldn't a carp get the respect that any other fish does? I never keep fish to eat so its not like im going to starve if I catch one so why not? Their Big, ez to catch and are in almost every body of water in Co. and not mention they fight really well. What other fish in colorado averages over 5lbs and over 20lbs and can be caught almost anywhere?
I just dont understand why they are so looked down upon? I for one am going to target them this summer.

I call them freshwater bonefish. Makes them more prestigious.
