What Type Of Fish Is This?!?!

[bassman1997]

Hello, I fish in a very small pond that's about 3.5 foot deep at the most, and I know there are alot of bass and brim in it, but I think there may be some carps as well. The reason I say this is, sometimes, I will see a very big bubble line about 4 inches wide and anywhere from 1.5 to 3 foot long, then a wake, followed by a big swirl. I also hear a pop/slurpish sort of noise and see a ripple like a fish feeding. I haven't seen a carp in here before, as the water is somewhat dirty, but that doesn't mean they're not there. Could it just be a big bass speeding away to eat a fish, or a carp being spooked? Please let me know! Thanks

bubbles usually equal turtles by the sounds of it a big one

idk if it is a turtle i mean theres some in there and a snapper but it just looks like whatever is making the bubbles, wake, and swirl is fast swimming

[clayton86]

bubbles could be the turtle and the swirl is a bass getting spooked booking outa there

I would think it is a carp. I fish for carp a lot and that sounds like a carp to me.

I don't think fish make bubbles though how would they they don't breath air or have lungs. yes a goldfish will release bubbles when getting flakes from the surface but its just a few so same could be said about a carp but I don't think any fish could make a streak of bubbles like that i mean if fish made bubbles the water would always look like a Jacuzzi from all the bubbles coming up from all the fish.

Carp will leave a bubble trail when they stir up vegetation that has trapped gas bubbles coming from the bottom of the lake. It could be a big softshell turtle, they swim surprisingly fast and will leave a bubble trail just like a snapper. If I was guessing I'd guess a carp or maybe a big catfish.

I'm going to throw some bread in today, I'm going fishing there in just a little while when it cools off. I'll be sure to let yall know what I can find out!! Also, if it helps, there used to be alot of algea, I mean, 7/8th of the pond's surfaces was just algea, and the next day I went there, less that 1/3 was algea...
