My next door neighbors asked for a carp as they knew I was a fisherman. I gave them one. They were Portuguese. They put it on the BBQ for hours. It stunk up the entire neighborhood. Terribly. The only one I ever gave them. I will give carp, suckers, bullhead, away to others fishing on the river. My PB, carp is 28 lbs. As a catch and release fisherman, the kind of fish on the end of the line does not really matter, as they all go back. A big carp is one of the bests fights on a rod.
