Looks like a grass carp. If you zoom in you can barely make out scales.

Yeah -- grass carp!

I just found a pic posted online by a guy who sells them for ponds: http://www.thepondconnection.com/ima...0_P1020008.JPG

I also found this, which makes me think there's an obesity issue with their species: http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...h/IMG_0331.jpg

Thanks, all!

I know this thread is old, but I don't think the fish in the original post have been properly identified yet. I am 99% sure they are Common Carp, which is a distinct species from both Grass Carp and Asian Carp (invasive species).

Here is a pic of a 16lb Common Carp I caught in the Floyd's Fork. Looks quite a bit like the pics in the original post. Tight Lines!
