I know it is not much good without my own pictures, but there are some serious carp in some of the lakes surrounding Saddam's palaces, and I went on some patrols through a fish market in a city near where the Tigris and Euphrates merge to form the Shat Al Arab river... lots of fish there too Any other vets see fish while they were deployed? we used to see em rollin over on the top of the water all over the place in Baghdad!    --NONE OF THOSE ARE MY OWN PICTURES...
