If anyone put a common carp in one of my ponds he would be sleeping with them if I had my way. Two things you never see in the same sentence, common carp, clear high quality water. Those things are turbidity machines. Bass nest raiders, and I don't have to think about raising them because I can catch them whenever I want, as many as I want. Or shoot them, or spear them, or bow and arrow them, or blow them up with dynomite. They sure make great fertilizer. Decent crawdad trap bait. Clean landfill? Now for the virtues of common carp...
