This eldritch leviathan of a carp has moved into the stretch of the river I fish in and has been chilling there for the better part of a week. Photo doesn't do it justice, the fish is huge and looks ancient. I've never targeted carp before so I'm wondering what type of lure/bait should I use and if this guy can be heavy enough that I should bring out the salt water rod.

Rythe posted:I know this is not "fishing" per say but has anybody ever done magnet fishing for the hell of it and to see what you can drag up? I saw a neat youtube video where a guy took a 90lb strength magnet, attached it with a rope and tossed it around the local boat ramp and pulled up all kind of knives and tools that he was later able to salvage. I lost my favorite lure to a small mouth, can you come to my spot? You can keep the fish if it is still attached.

I'm wondering if anyone knows the specific taxonomy of this type of fish, I figure it is some type of river herring or shiner. Schools of these guys have moved into the river, I can now catch them just by dragging the hook through the water and snagging on their fins or body. The river is low and in some shallow places you can't even see the bottom as their schools are so thick.

WTF BEES posted:That my friend is what we here in VA at least call a Fall Fish, but is actually a large variety of chub. Some people call them "Rapidan River Trout" in the lower sections of the Rapidan because they can be caught/fished for in much the same way. They can also get pretty drat big and put up a nice fight. How do they taste?
