Carp in the Falls of the Ohio

[peter]

Man. That's really bad news. These things are worse than rats. Ran into these things on the Mississippi River about 8 years ago. Scared the heck out of us. Had never heard of them before. I imagine water skiers will run into them up in the shoot at six mile Island when they get up there good. Would guess it would put an end to that up there.

Here are some small ones in action on the Illinois river

I caught one in the tail 2 yrs ago at the falls. 15 pds. Took me 15 minutes to get it in then sliced it down the belly and threw it back in for fish food !

Now that second fish Im 90% sure is a silver. I HATE to use color in a fish for ID but notice the lack of dark splotches on that fish vs the first two? I still think the first two are big heads.

I have this from somewhere but can't place where I saw it posted on the internet, but it looks like a big head.
