Harpooning carp
WhistlingBadger:
(warning: this thread contains pics of a Fib*****ss bow.)
Took the flyrod and old Thumper out to Ocean Lake a couple nights ago. Panfish weren't buying what I was selling, so I spent the late evening harpooning a few aquapigs. One of these days I'm going to try filleting out a few of these beasts--I hear they're not bad eating if you treat them just right, but frankly I've never hungry enough to try--or at least saving the skins for bow backings and possibles bags. In the meantime, carp busting is good practice while removing a harmful invasive. Put up a heckuva great fight, too!

Yeah, gar would be fun. Did you know people make arm guards out of gar skin? Must be tough stuff. Not sure what carp skin us useful for, but I've seen some pictures of it and it's pretty stuff!

look up a youtube video of someone cleaning one, they use tin snips to cut the skin!
