Leprosy?!?!? Hmmm...I seem to be ok..Fletchette wrote:Around here we shoot them with bows, and occasionally shotguns. Then throw them on the bank for raccoons to eat. Without touching of course, ewwwww, because touching them will give you Leprosy !!!BucksNBuffalo wrote:Really?? Carp are CRAZY FUN, especially on a fly rod! You've never fished for carp? Try it sometime. They are fished much differently in Europe than here in the States, but a carp is a carp. I love catching carp on flies. They are actually quite intelligent and can be tough to get to bite. Fly anglers like to call them the "Bonefish of Freshwater". The sheer power and the fight is simply amazing. I even had an 8lb Common Carp absolutely whip my butt before I finally got him in, but on conventional tackle (spinning, baitcasting) I have caught MUCH bigger fish such as King Salmon and Musky, and I've NEVER been that tired after a fight with a fish!!Fletchette wrote:People fish for carp?!?!?!.......Why?

Upon further inspection, I still have all my limbs... Carp won't give you leprosy, man. Listening to stupid people will rot your brain though Seriously, try actually fishing for them. I guarantee you, the fight will be one to remember. Right up there with Gar.
