Has anyone else caught (accidentally) grass carp on chicken liver?
When I first bought my place, before I tore out and rebuilt my spring fed pond I was up there fishing out channel cats with chicken liver, I had a stringer full of frying pan fish plus and minus a pound, when I started getting hits on my line, the thing kept taking my bait, but was extremely difficult to hook, for one thing it didn't nab the bait and dive like cats do, it more or less slurped the bait, but finally I managed to hook it, man the thing was a monster, after several minutes of fighting I landed this 6 foot behemoth, I honestly did not know what it was, except some kind of carp, took it to my fish farming neighbor and he told me it was a grass carp, I did not know that they ate meat, he said after they get so big, if food is scarce they will. Well when we drained that eight of an acre pond we found three more behemoth grass carp, no wonder the only vegetation was the willows on the bank
