Inline Spinners Will Catch Anything - Carlyle Spillway

[mic]

So I took some of my new homemade spinners out to Carlyle spillway. I had visions of catching a crappie, white bass, or if I was lucky a big ol drum. Instead I caught this. I figured I foul hooked him, but... my inlines are pretty snagless, barbless, and it was a perfect upper lip hook up. Anyone tell me what type of carp this is. I assume it is an Asian but don't really know.

Tight Lines,

Yep, that's one of those Silver Asian carp...

[MOsmallies]

Yep... Asian. The spillway is choked full of em. Hope you slit it's gills and left it for the turtles. Pretty cool you caught it on a homemade inline spinner though. You catch anything else? Or only the carp?

[mic]

Only the carp. No I didn't have a knife on me.

[Flysmallie]

No I didn't have a knife on me.

And you call yourself an outdoorsman.

It was in the truck... leave me alone.

I got one a few months back on a Crankbait of all things on Butler Lake near the Meramec. At the time I thought it somehow got perfectly snagged on the mouth so it looked like it actually went for it, but now that I've seen this, I'm thinking it was a legit catch.

Or eat them, they are delicious.

Have you cleaned one.? I've heard that they aren't bony like the commons are, but I've never put a knife to one. I wonder how long it will be before they reach Flippen?
