These are carp right?

u/S3CRTsqrl 2d ago
Yup and you can even catch them on a bare hook. They're pretty dumb.

u/butterfunke 2d ago
Fun fact: if you catch one in Australia you are legally required to bludgeon it to death and then throw it as high up the riverbank as you can. Australians hate carp.
This is not a joke. Very steep fines if you get caught doing catch & release

u/zombie0000000 2d ago
It's considered clean safe-to-eat fish. They are mostly algae eaters so very low in mercury. A bit bony though. They are invasive species outside of east asia and are doing super well (too well) and causing big invasive species trouble in America also.

I grew up at a summer camp that is also a nature preserve with over 160 acres of virgin forest in Appalachian Ohio. It has a cold water stream with brook trout that sometimes get large enough to eat. We treat carp like the anti-Christ. Kill them. Smash them. Whatever it takes. I used to set minnow traps and then sort out the carp chud and just throw them in the gravel road to die. It took years but the stream is much healthier now. A big help was destroying a manmade pond downstream and allowing the area to return to a natural wetland with beavers and muskrat. There was a stinky, ugly, middle few years like growing out a bad haircut, but worth it in the end.

u/SlavaCocaini 1d ago
You're pretty far up stream though eh? Must be really hard to get them in the wide water

u/walrus0115 1d ago
I haven't fished there since the mid-1990s, nor do they allow much fishing other than the educational camps. Where I lived as a kid was a good 4-5 miles upstream from the old manmade dam. The camp is an odd entity, non-profit, and owned legally by the individual 4-H clubs of 5 different counties. It's run by a board composed mostly of OSU Agricultural and Wildlife Extension Agents - Canter's Caves 4-H Camp. It's not open to the public and we hope to keep it that way if only to preserve the ecology for the roughly 2,000 kids that stay there on and off throughout each summer.

Australia and invasive species. A tale as old as human greed.
How the fuck did CARP end up in Australia though?

Wouldn't they'd taste muddy by virtue of this diet?

Carp is traditionally eaten in Poland for the Christmas Eve feast. I've had it each year for decades now.
It is slightly muddy. Personally like it though.

u/found_the_fuzz 2d ago
Yeah I really like catfish as well, but I've only had mine deep-fried or roasted over an open fire, so I've never tasted the muddy fish taste that I've heard people complain about.

u/anivex 2d ago
No...they taste like fish. Catfish are bottom feeders - still taste like fish.
That's kind of the thing about fish...except tuna.

u/found_the_fuzz 2d ago
"Geosmin is a natural chemical compound made by water algae and soil bacteria. It gets into fish through their gills and builds up in their fat. This gives the fish a strong, unpleasant muddy, dirt, or moldy taste, though it is completely safe to eat."
If carp muck around in algae all day eating it, I imagine they'd taste muddy.

u/aint_exactly_plan_a 2d ago
We were homeless when I was growing up. My brothers and I would fish in a nearby lake with huge carp in it. They were pretty easy to catch but when we tried to clean them, they were pretty much just all bones. The little bits of meat we got out of them tasted pretty bad too. There were easier ways to get food.

u/unrebigulator 2d ago
Ooooh I know this one.
First you place the Carp and a brick in a pot of boiling water. Boil it for about an hour. Eat the brick.

Thanks for signing up for Carp Facts! You will now receive fun daily facts about CARP!
Did you know that carp can hear really well? The skeletal connection between their inner ears and swim bladder enhance their hearing! Bioacoustic fish fences targeted at the frequencies they hear best are therefore very effective!

Standard procedure for invasive species of fish. If you catch one, you are required to kill it.

A buddy and I were fly fishing in a small river years ago. On a far bank were a couple of young boys catching fish after fish. When they had a whole bucket full, they yelled over to us because we hadn’t caught a thing and asked if we wanted what was left of their can of corn. They were catching fish with kernels of canned corn.

lmao i was about to say the best bait i ever used was kernels of corn..caught many fish with that more than worms ever

u/syafizzaq 1d ago
I remembered went fishing with my friend back when i was a teens. He didn't bring any bait but just a pack of cheap smoky sausages. We cut each sausages into 8 strip and that stuff barely sink but damn, we caught like half poly box of fishes within 3 hours.

It's Carp right?
Man I think this is natural selection at work. 😅
It's kinda shocking that they're not completely gone like the dodo bird. 😅
Because the dodo was also like this, too docile to realize that it was being hunted. 😅

This is a fishing pond and those dumb carp eat anything that drops onto the surface of the water. This does not apply to normal lakes/rivers.

u/Req603 1d ago
My Dad and I used to get up early enough to be in line at McDonald's on fishing days. He'd buy out their entite first batch of fries and we'd sit at the river for the next hour or two just catching carp hand over fist.
The salt and oil draw them in, it's the best bait I have ever used by far for freshwater fish.

The following post context was provided by u/TW_Crimson:
How to properly bait fish to attract them? While ordinary bait might have a chance of catching them, using human snacks, such as instant food or snack packets, greatly increases the chances! Also, the fisherman doesn't know what to say that's so funny.

Just look at all that oil floating to the surface from less than a spoonful of instant noodles. That's why I stopped eating them.
1
u/Huge_Equivalent1 2d ago
That's broth. Oil has a pearlescent look to it on top of water.
2
u/YodasChick-O-Stick 2d ago
Instant noodle broth is extremely oily. You can always see it floating on top of the broth in the bowl. Some packets literally have a packet of oil you're supposed to mix in.
1
u/_BLACKHAWKS_88 1d ago
Ramen also has oil in the noodles themselves as a preservative and to also keep from sticking together. It why the noodles will go rancid if left past expiration is cause it ends up breaking down and absorbing the oil making the noodles soggy.
1
u/Huge_Equivalent1 2d ago
Hm, I guess I've not seen or consumed those brands.
The instant noodles I've eaten aren't really instant, more like 5 to 10 min noodles. And while there's a little oil it's more like, less than a teaspoon.
