Yes it is a commen carp or German carp as they are called in Europe, as they love to fish for them over there, they even have tourneys for them. Maybe someone should have a big carp tourney with all the fish caught going to the Chinese. They sure are fun on lite tackle, used to go down to Beaver Creek Bridge on Siddens rd at Barren and take a can of corn an ultra lite, some hooks/sinkers and a six pack and have a ball.
