That remind me of when my daughter was babysitting she called me scream and crying bc the older boys had not only caught fish, still alive, but put them in the washing machine so their dad wouldn’t find them and kill them 😂 the boys had added pond water so they would die also
Wouldn’t die … hate autocorrect
Any fish will grow to the size of his confinement given the time. Carp are goldfish. Carp now have become an invasive species in the Great Lakes.
Trout please, salmon, flounder or sea bass. Not carp. The fish can work out any tastiness issues swimming in a marinade in the fridge.
My cousin and I caught some carp one that Grandpa had us throw back. On the way home he gave us long and involved instructions on how to cook carp by nailing it to a board and adding all these seasonings, and when you get done, you throw the fish away and eat the board.
We had a nickname for carp.
Suckers
Bottom feeders.
Hummm.
Some politicians come to mind.
Frankenfish or Snakeheads. the Potomac River is inundated with this fish. They have excaped from fish ponds in Maryland that suppy Asian restaurants by “walking” on their pectoral fins and breathing air through their gills. The Potomac river is full of them. It is against the law in Virginia to possess a live snakehead. Oysters and crabs in tributaries of MD and VA are big business and these fish eat small mollusks, frogs and other fish like carp. The upside is the flesh is white and firm and very tasty.
