Wierd Looking Carp!!

[scartinez]

I was recently going through some of my fishing pictures and noticed a picture of a carp my cousin had caught a few years back. It looked like it had a catfish head with a carps body. I thought it was strange, maybe a hybrid? Probably just a really ugly freak carp.

I thought you all might enjoy seeing the pic.

What do you think?

Looks like a carp head to me, just smaller than one would be for that size of body. What does everyone else think? WH2

[cool][#0000ff]Looks like an amur (grass carp). They are often planted in golf course ponds and other waters to help keep the water weeds in check.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]As you can see in the attached pic, they get big. They are also great battlers.[/#0000ff]

I agree with Pat...grass carp. Of course that wouldn't stop me from sticking and arrow into it![cool]

That is definetely not the Bugle Mouth Bass. That one is the Hillbilly Trout or Common Grass Carp.[cool]

Yep...that's a grass carp...and probably a new Utah bugle mouth grass trout record.

Supposedly those grasscarps are delicious...and are protected in a lot of Southern states.
