[QUOTE=scoobe]I know there are mixed opinions on bow hunters, but I think this guy just makes everyone look bad. Come on, you gotta respect a fish that old and big.

So shouldn't you also respect that big ole 12 pointer. I hold an animal like that in much much higher reguard and would have no problem harvesting it, and if your a bow hunter neither would you right.

Carp can do severe damage to the echo system on smaller bodies of water where they were illegaly intoduced. I have seen it first hand on a lake I grew up on. Large and small mouth of good size were plentifull 15 years ago, now nothing but carp, lots and lots of carp. With no natural predators they have over run the place. Used to shoot as many as I could when I was younger, hey the turtles got to eat too.
