    That carp is def huge!! great catch! and to some of you asking if its pregnant, chances are probably not, its probably a female because most carp u can determine what sex it is by its dropped belly(not to be confused with pregnant) because the female carp continously eat. that and its probably old.

    I did a lot of Carp shooting,with a bow & arrow w/attached reel w/ 110 lb test line using special fish arrows.The biggest I ever landed was 36″ long 21 lb. I shot them bigger but,could not land them, they took all my line & arrow pulled out.There used to be contest’s for the biggest carp gotten with a bow. Also I used to get hugh snapping turtles at the same time.In the Meadville,Pa swamps. Was a lot of fun.

    I think those potty mouths should learn how to spell, and have their mouths washed out with soap.
    I think you should have put more information on fish, weight, length,
    bait used, and where it was caught.
