Interesting I grew up Paying to Carp Fish. Found it exciting and still do, just don't pay.

I also enjoy catching Buffalo and Suckers which are Native Fish and very Good Eating.

One of the last times I paid for fishing for Carp. 22 pounds.

Caught plenty Redhorse as matter fact I caught the Biggest one I ever have last Spring.

Now I'm Boatless so I'm fishing from the bank witch limits where I can fish.

Oh I did catch a 6.5 Pound Rainbow on Night Crawlers, Number 6 Baitholder Hook, and 6# Test Line.

Got a chance to go see some of these bad boys in person, they are raised till they are in the 5-10 pounds before they are stocked, with a few raised till they hit 20#

the fish are fed a hi protein boilies (they prob will sell them on site) twice a week during the growing season

once in syndicate lake, I am sure they will have 40 pounders in under 5 years...spring fed lake gravel bottom

I can't wait till they open! its modeled after Gigantica in France, where people all over Europe pay about the equivalent of $1500 to fish 5 days

How do they taste compared to the regular common carp.

no-one eats these, as a rule each fish is photographed and capture with weights documented,  I read once an eastern european killed to eat a 30#er at a UK syndicate, he didn't understand and apparently got beat up 

to kinda school you what the deal is check out this place, notice the prices and that most of 2018 already booked, but from what I would expect they prob would taste better

I would hate to get beat up over a carp.  Be a shameful stain on my life, sort of like the time a tore a muscle beating a possum to death on my porch late one night.

 They were bred for the table, less scales for easier cleaning and deeper sides for more meat to bone ratio and a guy gets beat up for eating one , how ironic .
