My dad caught a huge carp down the river once when I was a little kid.
He literally shot it with a .32 once it was ashore.
That's a true story, believe it or not. We took it to his buddy who didn't have much money who was very happy to get it. Said it was enough for weeks.
Once upon a time, a long long time ago I worked extremely hard. So my vacations were rare and I took them very seriously. My friends and I took our ski boats out to the Colorado River. The kids and hub all went to ski. I found a wonderful, quiet back water and set about drinking my personal case of beer and fishing.
Being a type A my fishing was also a serious endeavor and I planned to eat what fish I caught. First fish was this gigantic carp (fought like a bass). I threw it back. Next fish was this gigantic carp, it fought even harder. I threw it back. So after a couple hours of repetition I was losing patience with the crappy carp. Enter the asshole jet skiers who completely RUINED anymore fishing.
At this point I had reached the perfect intersection of pissed and drunk. So when I caught another gigantic carp my eye fell upon my kid's water balloon slingshot they had mounted in one of the pole holders. I can not be responsible for what happened next. Two birds one stone, it was wonderful. Jet skier down, his friends were stunned LOL I don't think him or his friends were expecting some insane red head to shoot one of their guys with a fish. Then stand up shrieking and gesticulating with a beer bottle.
They left, fishing was dead so I left. The next day I got a couple cats.

We used to catch them pretty much whenever we wanted, sometimes we would go out just to catch them. 15-20+ pounders are fun to catch. We would use, whole kernel corn right out of the can.. Thanks Green Giant..
That had to be one huge carp!

The trunk of his '54 Plymouth smelled like fish for a year.
It was massive and the ugliest fish I ever saw. Scaley as fuck.
Please for the love of God have some pic's from this event!!
Or it didn't happen.
Ok, after copious looking I finally found the pic of the 54 lb grass carp I got with my bow.
BTW, I'm holding him by sticking my fingers through the arrow hole's.

I come from a generation when we considered pics evidence and we didn't want any of that around. Anyway I was alone and it was back when you had to carry a real camera to get a pic. I was safe. So, yup, it never happened
I'd pay real money to see any in existence.I come from a generation when we considered pics evidence and we didn't want any of that around. Anyway I was alone and it was back when you had to carry a real camera to get a pic. I was safe. So, yup, it never happened

Cool, thanks for this, designing one now lol. Fucking jet skis, they seem to just go in circles in front of my house lol.
You're welcome. Please make sure you get a video of when the carp contacts the skier. The look on his face was priceless.
@GreatwhiteNorth my projectile carp was less than 1/2 that size. If he'd been that big I would have tried eating him.
