Was watching a video.  Guy was fishing for Carp. 

He was saying the fight is comparable to Red Fish.

I'm thinking why drive 12 hours to fish for Red Fish?

I know a great carp hole and I agree.  Definitely the same kind of fight on rod and reel.

It only took the bowfishers about 4-5 years to put a noticable dent in the carp & buffalo population here at Lake O . 

The flats used to be lousy with them....but I haven't seen a single one out on the flats over the last year or so.   They are just gone!

I’ve seen some post slaughter boat ramps littered with dozens of them.  Carp, buffalo and gar.  Once there were a couple mammals in the stink pile.   Looked like muskrats maybe.   Hard to tell since they all bloated.

Get this people use to pay to fish for Carp including me. 

Use to see them in the Meat Section of the store. 

People don't realize Buffalo are Native and good eating.

Boonville, MO but they would go on over across the river to fish.

It was a place called Twin Lakes. One just had Carp the other they had Game Fish in.

Nebraska and Iowa in big stocked and heavy fed oxbows was a real deal.  SECRET recipes for doughballs.  Been there as a kid and had a good and exciting time.

AND I've been in the redfish spots at the right time and said Drum?  For Real?  For money?  Nope, not me.  Let's catch something good to eat.
