I'm bass fisherman but I snagged this in the tail unintentionally Saturday with a crank bait. Thought I had a big bass until it just kept running then I thought it was catfish. I was fun for about 15 minutes! Biggest fish I have ever landed. Not sure how much it weighed but it was heavy!

Probably could have had the lake record, but wasn't sure what to do so, I just let it go.

Is it easy to tell the difference between a common and a grassie, I am sure I can do internet searches; wanted to know what the forum people thought

If it's legal ain't no way in hell it's catch and release, it's CATCH & GREASE, except ROUGH (TRASH) Fish

Common Carp have a more gold color and have barbels on their mouth. Grass carp are silvery with no barbels. Check out some of the photos in this section and you could see a bunch of examples of the Trio Grass carp (not a carp but a part of the minnow family) Common Carp (number one sport fish on the planet) and Buffalo (Native Texas species)
