I know carp only eat plant food but for some reason that day the chicken liver was deadly at catching some monster carp at Van Buren.
Years ago I read how to make "Dough Ball" to catch carp with. I made some and fished in a small lake. But never got a bit. Probably because the lake didn't have an fish in it. LOL. It was not connected to any other stream or river and basically was just a depression area that filled up with rain water. The county took dirt of of this area to build a highway years ago. I guess you could call it a Barrow Pit. I don't think it was that deep either. It's no longer there. I guess the filled it back in with dirt.

Perhaps I should get some chicken livers and head down to the River to fish. If the carp don't bite I can an least catch some catfish. I know that they like Chicken Liver.
