"The carp is generally not given a great deal of respect by most anglers, including myself. That was until I went fishing for them with with a friend, Lonnie King. We caught almost a dozen, with Lonnie landing 2 verified 33 pounders. What a hoot! We placed some of them in the 100 gallon tank that I had brought along for a few photos. It was then that I had the opportunity to study them more closely, and realize just how striking they really are".
