Carp

    Some people argue that carp are the best
    fighting freshwater fish pound for pound.  
    While others may disagree, you can't argue
    the fact that carp are very strong and provide
    some excellent fights.  They will not jump like
a bass or salmon, however, they do make strong runs like a northern
pike.


Carp fishing is extremely popular in Europe, however, it hasn't caught
on completely in the United States.  It is gaining more popularity, but it
still has a long way to go to match the popularity of Europe.  There are
many fishermen that do enjoy fishing for carp, but the carp get a bad
rap from bass fishermen because they eat bass eggs.  Carp can
overpopulate a pond or small lake in a hurry because most people don't
keep carp and once they grow to 10 or inches, they don't have very
many predators.  

Carp don't feed in the same ways that most gamefish feed.  They feed
off of the bottom and they will eat a variety of different baits from corn to
worms.  They are called garbage fish by most serious anglers.  Carp
can tolerate very shallow and murky water that most other fish couldn't.  
This also helps lead to overpopulating ponds and small lakes.
