  :'(   It always amuses me what the powers that be classify as "invasive" verse legit gamefish. The list of actual invasives (non-native fish) is a very, very long one.

Smith is blown out — I was jonesing for a tug — hit the carp pond — found one feeding close to the bank — drag and drop — stuck in the lip - nice fatty to the net!

I've strolled around the pond the last couple of days looking for tailers, I had few opportunities, and the carp weren't cooperative.
A kid was spin fishing for bass and bream and had caught a couple, he was fascinated by my tails of catching carp, he had hooked one but couldn't bring it in.

I walked across the dam, aa nice fat northern banded water snake slithered out of my way. I fished the far side and then returned only to see the snake again. The kid asked if I had seen a snake and I told him twice, and he said he had seen it earlier.

I was fishing the near shore and the kid had worked his way around the pond to the far side when I heard a woman talking on her phone, apparently communicating with her son who was fishing, and I heard her indicate that she would come across the dam to him. I thought about the snake and thought to myself, "this will be good" I watched the mom start across the dam and then head a loud shriek as she scurried back. When she came close, I asked, "Didn't your son warn you about the snake?"

"Oh, no he didn't, they don't bother him" she replied. 

anyway, no carp were caught that day...

Today I had one decent shot, but carp was blocked by a small bass.

The horror! All carp should be handled delicately with pre-moistened hands and quickly released without ever being lifted from the water.

Crawdad and Shrimp Stuffed Carp Recipe
This stuffed carp recipe will wow your guests in more ways than one. It has a beautiful presentation, delivers incredible flavor, and is best eaten in a unique way – with your hands.

In this carp recipe, a whole carp is stuffed with crawdads (aka crayfish), shrimp, and seasonings. The stuffed carp is then wrapped up in banana leaves and grilled. The banana leaves create a pocket around the fish, trapping steam, liquids, and flavor within.

Not so sure about that presentation....looks like the carp was infected with a host of internal parasites...
