Looks like a good time there.
So what do you do with them?
Oh........my........gosh! What a haul! Maybe they will start spawning here soon.
well i have a lil extra gas money from them and will have some really green food plots this season:)
Holy Moly!!! That is a full afternoon!
Good Shooting!!
Wow! My a.d.d would prevent me from shooting so many fish for so long. Good shooting at any rate.
yeah after awhile you just start looking for trophy fish:)
:clapper: :clapper: :archer2:
I bet I know where you were at or close to it. You need to get out on my boat sometime and shoot some fish with me. Come down to the Muzzy Classic in Guntersville April 30th we will have a Meet and Greet on Fri afternoon as well. See ya there.
WOW looks like fun ! :eek:
Yes!!! You Win!!! :thumbsup:
At a boy Brandon, I dont know where that is help a fellow out. LOL. Randy
Green food plots? Great minds think alike! Well done here fishkiller! Thanks for the pix.
I bury about 80 or so carp a year in my garden, and the veggies grow crazy good.
Thats alot of cat food. Looks like fun.
Great shooting!!! or have you got a cast net just out of sight? My fingers would be worn out from winding!!!!
Good shooting. Play today-pay tomorrow.
I tried bringing some suckers home one year for the garden, and every racoon in the area came running. I should have sat out that first night with my bow at the ready.
We used to do ok carpin, But nothing like that!! Wow. Nice going.
Canned or smoked, at the price of food nowadays all that protein would shave a lot of $ off the grocery bill... :biglaugh:
:thumbsup:
Bear bait coming up.
1 bow
1 arrow
1 stick o dynOmite!
I think canning or smoking some would be time well spent.
Gotta be some fun.
THAT PICTURE IS REAL FISHY!
LOOKS like a lot of fun!
thanks for the comments guys!
mark land- i would really enjoy shooting some fish with you! we actually thought about entering the classic this year. never even entered our boat into a tourney!
went back friday with my lil partner and got right back on the fish! he had a BLAST!! i would shoot and he would fight them and land them. when we were loading the fish up at the end, he said " daddy can you hang the big one i caught in my room?" haha, i just told him momma wouldnt like the smell:)

I agree with Ron...canned up and made into patties carp are "good eats".
Just raw pack chunks of fish (small bones left in)into quart jars...press down and leave 1/2" space at top...1/2 tsp. salt (optional)...don't add water (makes it's own juice)
Medium snug down lids and rings...process at 12 pounds pressure for 90 minutes. Let cool.
Drain 1 qt. fish...mix in 2 eggs / 1 pkg. hand crushed saltine crackers / some fine diced onions.
Brown in greased fry pan over med / high flame.
Enjoy!
dont think i can handle eating any kind of carp. i have tried gar, fried, it was ok but not the best.
brings back memories of the Oak Plank and horse Manure receipe for baking carp! :)
Did know some folks that kept them live ina spring house like snapping turtles for a week or so to clean the mud taste out and they liked them... :eek:
Carbonkiller, I don't like gar either...but the carp taste like canned salmon patties.
Doc Nock, I think the oak plank gives the horse manure a funny taste. lol
Only use carp or buffalo when the water is still real cold...makes all the difference.
Gar are some of my favorites especially those gator gar in the 4-6ft length.
Come on down to Guntersville that weekend, I will be there from Thursday evening till Sun, always love to meet some fellow trad gangers. We will be staying at the Day's Inn in Guntersville and will be at the Lurleen B. Wallace pavilion on Fri, sat and sunday.
sounds good!i'll be there as long as my wife isnt in labor:)
yeah gar are by far my favorite fish to shoot...doesnt matter if its big spotted gar or big longnose....and one day i hope to chase some gator gar.
