I haven’t understood the attraction to carp. Montana fishing guides who know trout fishing like the back of their hand claimed to go after carp when they were off the clock. Other guys claimed that they ran like bonefish when they were hooked.

Another guy I know used them as garden fertilizer. Not saying I condone it.

Well, you sure as heck can’t shoot one. And I don’t think I’d want to try to land one of those giant carp with a bobber and sinker.

He uses a cross-bow to kill giant carp. A sport soon to be featured on the new TV show, “The Least Deadliest Catch.”

Here’s the Iowa version, from today’s DesMoines Register, a 79 lb. carp taken by bow and arrow from a quarry near Cedar Rapids: http://tinyurl.com/mfydxu

I think we didn't do a story on this because of the FOX 9 Blimp disaster. However, our friend Paul has cracked the case (at least I think he has):
