The grass carp I didn't weigh but he was maybe my biggest and gave me a good battle before I won. Also drilled a big fat female common carp full of eggs. Nice one to sun dry..........
Good shootin. Those big grass carp are tough to get in unless hit solid towards the front end. What do ya guess she weighed? 35-45 lb range?Those river or lake fish? Are you hunting them during the day or night with lights?
I like to make a wire harness around their front end and hang them in a tree. Starts out as a great coon-sickle then after it oozes out the bluebirds and wrens make nests inside the mouth and they swing in the wind for years.
6x6 I'd like to see a picture of those fish heads. Sounds neat.
Moosehunter, thanks for the vote. I will wear the badge proudly. Actually I hang the whole fish, but you need to run a wire thru the gill plate and around the spine to support all the extra weight the first few days as they bloat and the maggots grow. Usually they ooze out the arrow holes and butt for the coons, then after a couple weeks they dry out, and last forever. In my profile album is a picture of a 61 lb and 3 30-40 lb grass carp my 15 year old son and I got last summer, all wired and ready to hang out. I have them along the bottom of my long driveway and they were the only thing that worked to keep the Jehovah witness people away.I will try to get some pics of the fish now while the birds are useing them.
