Now if you really want to have some fun, make up some Super Special Cecil PH Pellet Flies, on a 8 0r 9 wt fly rod, and you'll keep some around for some of the best sport fishing you have ever had in your life.
Fly fishermen spend tens of thousands of $$$$$ at exotic places to fish for bone fish - regular carp are now being called "golden bones"..
I have taken a couple of 15# class GC from our ponds. but release smaller ones.
They go nuts when you get them to the bank so have a gaff or big net handy.
I'm going to keep a few of the big ones around for sport fishing, but they don't seem to like the AQMX pellets all taht much anyway..
