Back when I was doing a lot of carp fishing as a teenager,  we used to call them " Leatherback"  carp....

Rhode Island is loaded with carp. Apparently they used to stock them in the canals and streams around the factories and workers were welcome to catch them and take them home for dinner

In England carp are treated with much respect. Fisherman will catch , put lip balm on them to help with the hooked spot heal and released.

ever try to fly fish for them?   I tried it a couple of times. Not easy!  tougher than a wily brown!

So they would frown on bow shooting im thinking.  Did this a few times too.

Can only keep one a day. But I don't  keep them. They go back in to make more. To get a good rep of a fish that big would probably easy go 2 grand.
