NWW, that last pic reminds me........I....almost.....hate to admit (when we were kids of course) we used to tie beer cans to carp after we caught them, and then release back in to water....we'd measure carp in terms of how many cans it took to keep them afloat, i.e. a two can carp, a four can carp...etc.
in hindsight, that was cruel and unusal punishment even for a trash fish, in later years i give them to people, or leave em for vultures.
edited post....empty beer cans that is.
