The Colorado state record carp was caught today. The story and video are, IMO, entertaining. http://www.9news.com/acm_news.aspx?OSGNAME=KUSA&IKOBJECTID=49a2fcff-0abe-421a-006e-847b7ca2526b&TEMPLATEID=0c76dce6-ac1f-02d8-0047-c589c01ca7bf

Hell a kid I went to HS with caught a carp bigger than that in Middle School down on the Muskingum River near Philo.

Yeah, but was your guy the model for "Cletus the slack-jawed yokel" from the Simpsons? The video I linked unfortunately doesn't do full justice to the extent to which the actual newscast revealed this dude's yokelhood.

Would someone please give cooking instructions for carp?

Yeah, allow to brew in your septic tank for approximatley 2 years.

Speaking of septic tanks, Thump, last year a snake got into my septic tank. It had to be as big around as your arm (or bigger), you can't imagine the problems a snake that size can cause in your septic tank.

Soak in salt water for 8 hours. Marinate in Ragu overnight, then
cook on the grill for 4 minutes each side.

It's easy:

1. throw the carp away.
2. call domino's/pizza hut/papa john's/whatever local pizza joint you favor
3. crack open a cold one and wait for your feast.

Wow, I missed this thread. I was out of town last weekend. I'm guessing it was in the local paper. That's one big ass carp!
