if you like a lot of bones.

Garbage fish...bottom feeder....boney...only good for fertilizing your plants!! My dad always dug a hole by a tree and berried them to fertilize the soil...Great in the rose garden also!!!

buried....need to read before I push submit

Ya not good to eat...

Gotcha...So like now I am wondering what that couple did with all of those huge fish? I mean the fish one I saw them pull out had to be at least 10 pounds. I guess to each his or her own. I'm not into wasting fish so I think I'll take it to my dads garden.

Depends on what part of the country your from up north that's a food fish and they sell them in the meat markets....they think catfish a nasty trash and you couldn't get them to think about eating one....

I have had it fried the guy scored the meat bones and all and fried it in very hot grease and it was pretty good

That carp and drum looks like some good ol catfish bait.

After you bake it at 400F for about 20 min. Toss the fish and eat the cooking sheet!

That was the only carp that I caught. The rest were white crappie.

carp were originally brought here to the u.s. for consumption. it is a fine eating fish . since you took it ,might aswell eat it and judge for yourself . anyone who says its not good hasnt tried it .i read an article of some resturant that only serves carp and people come from far away just to eat there . ..

Taking fish and not using them for food or bait is wasting fish according to the TPWD. If you need fertilizer go to home depot. Carp and Drum are both edible according to TPWD so you must utilize them and not waste them. Not knowing what you are catching and keeping it could land you in serious trouble if you keep the wrong fish. The booklet they give out with fishing licenses has all the rules and fish and size limits. Ignorance of the law is no excuse to a game warden

Uh those are not white crappie, they are fresh water drum.

Holy carp
