The U.S. is one of the few places in the world that doesn't consider carp food.

No sweat. I started studying fish almost 30 years ago as a kid. Still learning though!! There are a blue million species out there.

we have them in our ponds at work we will catch them on flies sometimes but mostly shot them with 22s

Disagree. The common carp typically has a couple whiskers and its mouth is turned down. The grass carp has a wider mouth, towards the front of its face and missing the whiskers.
Also the cheek plate has a different width too.
I see this as a grass carp.
I've been wrong before though.

Just found this too...

I agree. Used to work at Ken's fish hatchery when I was younger. We used to deliver them to people's ponds. I have literally handled millions of catfish, too.

I have been to Paradise a good bit, went more after it became a wma than when it was Patrick's. The trophy lake has some bigguns in it.
