Ahhhh....finally, an Ichthyologist with a definitive answer!!! :MOJE_whot:

Opp's forgot to thank pat from RI with her quick response! Thanks for the link...Pat! Gracie, all well. I've read several posts with your comments and answered alot of my questions I didn't have to misspell my way through. rubicon if your seeing mermaids you may want to stay away from happy hour! Irish rover I don't think carp fan out holes to lay their eggs, they go into the weeds and lay their eggs. Only in USA European Carp is considered trash fish. In England they have Carp tournments kinda like we have bass tournments except they fish from the bank. There is another carp invading Northern American rivers. If you take small boat down the Ill. river you may be knocked out by flying carp. (utube it) Cfrance I'll try to stick to my boring outsider Villager wantbe questions, they will get me into enough trouble:thumbup:.

Oh don't! It's nice to have a fresh view and more humor. And... "carp" away! (sorry, my bad, mea culpa, etc.)

Want to see something amazing or funny need to see the utube video on Asian Carp in the IL. river. I think the title is Flying carp IL. river. Hundreds flying in and behind the boat as it goes down the river. I watch English Snooker tournments on utube all the time. If you like Billiards check them out all especially the 147 runs.

The fish in the video is the Silver Carp. It is invasive to the USA and is causing a lot of damage.
