Hello all first time poster long time lurker..
Curious as to your guys' thoughts on largemouth bass (florida or northern) preying on carp. I've talked to various fisheries biologists that say they've taken samples of small carp from bass stomachs but it's not as common as you'd think.
What are your experiences with this? As a fisherman I've caught common carp from 7lbs up to 20lbs either by foul hooking or by some kind of accident imo.
Never really seem to see the young of year on up to 3,4,5lbers swimming about. Are they not nearly as prolific as bass,bluegill,etc..? Reproduction not successful every year?
Look forward to any insight!
