Did it have barbels or not? No barbels it's a sucker, probably buffalo. If it's got barbels it's a koi

I did not start carping untill about 4 or 5 months ago.I fish while I do yard work and boat stuff.
1 or2 days aweek for a couple of hours.maybe 10 or 12 times 2to 3 hours.at first I libbys sweet corn
in the small cups.now I am using boiled field corn.I chum a little with range cube and some leftover
chick starter crumbles .beginners luck!
