About 18 years ago we put four Triploid Grass Carp in our pond. We had seen them once in awhile for the first few years, but not after that and assumed they had died. This handsome feller showed up on the shore the other day. Wow, what a biggen!

I didn't weigh him, but look at the length!

Hey Jerry, do they do a pretty good job of keeping your pond clean? Do they just eat sub auquatic vegetation or do they eat the algea also?

Those fish are sterile right?

Did it winter kill or die of old age? I have to look up what a triploid grass carp is. That's a new one on me. Do they all have the humpback in them? Speaking of carp, they are almost ready to run in the creeks here. Time to grab a few and get some smoked fish going. It's the only way I will eat them but it's good.

Glad to hear he was not an Asian carp that is like the ones ruining some of the rivers in Illinois. They jump in the air when a boat gets near and it can be real dangerous. I have heard of guys carrying shotguns and shooting them in the air but I doubt if it is legal.

I could post some pictures or video clips of some big cats and crappie I have been catching.
