Seriously don't be scared to put some pressure on them (One of the many reasons for long rods)

That's a lot of carp, but May 8 -11 isn't exactly Fall now is it?  So East Harbor huh?-------I'm guessing that is East Harbor St. Park on Lake Erie in OH?  What did yinz guys do with those fish or were you even involved with shooting them?

That's a link to the forum, but not the story.

I caught a bunch last night on the Northside, although the big guy eluded me yet again. Biggest was 26 inch, 14 pounds.

Not bad.  What's your biggest carp from the 3 rivers?  I used to fish the Mon River a good bit when I lived down that way, but could never get any bigger than mid-teens weightwise.

That pic is rediculous!  Now someone otta shot all them and throw them in the pile with em.  I can see killing some but ****.

 
Someone must be hungry for Carp scale bisquits....

I'm not a fan of bow fishing for that reason... all those wonderful opportunities for a rod/reel angler to hook up a hog... just lying their dead. Thanks for killing peoples exciting moments to come!

According to PFBC regulations a total of 50 carp per day can be kept per person (no limit at Pymatuning).  I think OH regs. are similar.  There's 14 people in that pic so they'd be allowed 700 carp total per day in PA.  I don't think there's anywhere near 700 carp in that pic, so they're legal, like it or not.  Dead, yea, but they're just fish. 
Those bfers probably got just as much excitement shooting them as we would catching them.  I would never criticize another group of sportsmen for enjoying their legal sport-----just the way it is as far as carp go (and suckers and catfish in PA for that matter).  The PFBC allows it so............................................

I definitely get that... I am not going to criticize anyone doing what they do, within reason. I bet i'd have a **** good time bow fishing also. I just have a hard time looking at it as "they're just fish."

i look at that pile of carp and see you or i, or a child we took out for the first time, hooking into one of those fish and not only getting a rush out of the catch, but also satisfaction knowing returning it is like giving a gift to someone down the line hooking up with the same excitement we felt.

Maybe i'm a romantic of sorts, i guess i can't help it, haha.

Like I said I have no problem with bow fishing but that pic is a real shame.  Aint nothing wrong with taking a few but thats uncalled for.  Imagine you had trout piled up like that. Or bass.

Wow incrediable fish.  Was going to fish washington #3#4 but theres a little sign on the big no trespassing sign that says somthing like this is a courtesy notice. Land arond lake is private.  Your vehicle has been recorded leave immeditaley.  Have to have written permission.

Gonna try.  Know couple guys who work for mthe owner so we will see.  Im ready to hook into a thirty.  Gotta say though this was by far the best year size wise for me.  All in wildwater too.  Dunnno were Im gonna fish this weekend.  Been baitin the chartiers crick and theres a bunch of fish there but notin big.  They do fight though.  Were you guys fishin?

Yep its a carp gold mine but like the river.  There stream lined to fight the current.  You ever wonder what they do when the crick floodss?

That sucks but at least you wasnt working like me.   Nice day to fish.  Got a couple hours in at the Chartiers crick.  I blanked lots afish around my son caught this little pig.  He was fat prolly almost 10lbs.

If ya wanna be a jack****.
Anyone can throw worthless fish in a landfill------just do it.  If the PFBC can do it, so can the fishermen.
