[cool][#0000ff]Now waitaminnit Rob. I have scruples. At least I did until I got vaccinated.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I want you to know that the only carp I shot yesterday were young horny males, cruising around the fringes of the "gathering", looking for some action (kinda like college guys). I did not get any shots at the big egg-spewing females. Probably woulda shot them if I had a chance, but they got spooked by my "helpers".[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Let this be a lesson to ya. Spawning (making love) is natural and not harmful to guys...but being obsessed with it and going crazy (thrashing and splashing) can be very hazardous to your health. In fact, it can get you killed.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]In truth, most of the commotion of spawning carp is caused by wild and crazy males. Several of them find a female ready to spawn and then they crowd around her and thrash against her to force her to let the eggs go...so they can do their thing too. The females just kinda swim along and dump their eggs, while the guy carp act all crazy. If it wasn't for those wacko males, we would probably never know there was any spawning activity going on at all.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Let's hear it for the male carp. Us bow fishermen would have a much tougher time if it weren't for their signals.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]How would I feel about getting "shot in the act"? That's a rhetorical question. Not about to go "fooling around" and give TubeBabe an excuse to let me find out. She would probably not use a bow anyway. Maybe an RPG.[/#0000ff]
