Thats funny.

ILfishinman · 07-18-06, 09:47 PM

that is funny. ive heard they have caused injury to people that were jetskiing and boating. they get scared from the noise of the motor and jump out of fear.

FishySkater · 07-18-06, 09:59 PM

thats weird. i never heard of that before do they do that all the time when there scared. and this is gonna sound a little weird but how would i scare a really really big one to jump out of the water and when i say big i mean big. i think someone threw this Carp in here just to be dumb or something becasue its the only one ive ever seen. But its really hard to miss. its massive. I saw him and he is at leats five feet long. How would i catch that.

FishySkater...

sure its not a catfish in the mississippi you were looking at!

FishySkater · 07-19-06, 01:08 PM

Positive its like an albino Carp or something the guy that owns the store up there said. He said people have been trying to catch it forever with no luck.

i really doubt that it is 5 feet long man but i have seen some huge *** carp. if u wanna catch em try using a small hook and take a chunk of bread and make it a ball and put it on the hook. you can also use a fewf kernels of corn too i know there is other baits but those are the only once i have used.....except for snag hooks

Not kidding. Ill try to get some pics for you. I was thinking about trying pizza crust. It works for Coy and thats a Japanese Carp right?
