[quote FishingLunatic]1 time I actually hooked literally like a 2 inch white bass...he was probably a baby and I actually left him on my hook in hopes of using him as live bait for a big fish. Unfortunately he just swam around untouched for a while and i gave up on it lol.

Ugh...
[quote MasterDaad]Thanks for the very interesting post about the attempt to manage the Carp population in Utah Lake.
I personally think the effort is laughably feeble given the prolific population of the pest, but I really hope I am wrong about that.
As for enjoying catching one.... I enjoyed catching Carp.
And then I turned 12.
Anything you can catch on a shoe string, a rusty hook you found tangled in an exposed bush in a declining lake, and a bit of left-over breakfast is not a sport fish.
I've caught Carp that way at Lake Powell more than once.[/quote]
Well, if you caught them at Powell like that, then it must be true of all waters. I'd like to hear FG's response to this awesome take on Mr. Carp. This might be my favorite thread of all time.
