				Yes sir if you eat carp that is definateley a lot of fish sticks. Nice catch on an ultra light.  :TooFunny:

				Carp that size are a lot of fun to shoot with the bow. I definitely wouldn't be eating it though.

				Have you looked into a possible line class record for that fish?  
			
			
			
				Loved the pics Ricky---that is what I do with my carps as well :) 
			
			
			
				Looks like he was pleased as punch to get it.  I've always heard that if you know how to cook them, they are good.  I just never cared to learn how to cook them.  ;)
			
			
			
				I smoked one last year and it was great. Cut the head off, gutted it and split it in half. Laid each half in the smoker scales down. Sprinkled a little brown sugar on each half smoked about 4 hours. The Mrs. ate more than I.
			
			
			
				Alot of fun to catch but I dont eat them. Congrats..
			
			
			
				Bet that was fun!
