Welcome zeke
I fish primarily for Large Mouth .... I do enjoy a little creek fishing for Smallies. Always catch and release....no matter how tempting it is to put one on the wall lol.
I live in Southeastern Ohio.
down here in redneck land my brother-in-law did take me carp fishing with his crossbow back in april and he had a few i just helped out but mainly watched as i am all for the catch and release aswell
but i must say them buffalo carp ribs did taste pretty good
and i did have to send a couple of pics back to fishing friends in uk
and when they see the dead ones and me holding the crossbow i got slated with all the " how could you do that"
as you can realise i didnt tell then that i did not shoot one bolt lol
the last couple of years have been a real eye opener here is just so different i have seen a lot of europe and there are some places like here and a few other states but still not that much alike
