fishing question...

[Dr_Fwd]

I've noticed that the fishermen don't take the carp, my question is why?
I mean I do understand that carp from some places can smell really bad but I'm talking about carp that doesn't smell or anything - for example, I took a couple of cards from Standley lake, fried 'em - tasted really good.
Back home (Uzbekistan) carp is probably the most common fish, so I don't have any problems eating it...
So why carp is not good? Is it because of too much bones? Bad juju? Is it considered something nasty in general?

I think if them as the prairie dogs of the pond. Not gonna eat em unless im starving. that said I don't really catch any because i dont try to but enjoy bowfishing them

Well, that explains why people were starring at me when they saw me taking those carps home... Lol!

You are what you eat. They're bottom feeders. They pretty much eat crap off the bottom of the water.

Yeah, it was explained to me that no one really likes the taste and people basically only like catching them for the fight that they put up.

[TriggerHappy]

There are much better "eating" fishes out there.

So are catfish, lobster/crab, and probably a handful of other aquatics we eat.....just sayin. Most carp that I see are usually in the upper water column.

There is a place in Omaha, NE that I hear makes killer carp foods, that's their foundation.
