Still a Bigbuckifan Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Have any of you ever caught any strange fish maybe from another country if you have please post pics and story here's mine. It's a Barramundi THey live in Australia there the same family as a snook caught in florida at a fish farm Quote
SenkoBasser Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Oh, 5 pound bluegill will be in here. He catches all the funky stuff. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted April 29, 2008 Super User Posted April 29, 2008 how do they fight? I saw Bill Dance fishing for them one time and thought it was very exotic. Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 No clue... A goldfish Tiger koi Yellow Koi Orange Koi Albino Oscar Orange/White Koi I have more pics of odd fish but I am at school now and a lot of them are not on my photobucket and are on home computer... Quote
Still a Bigbuckifan Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 They fight amazing I have probally caught 1000 there everything a 7'6 mh rod and 20# braid can handal. I work there Quote
Still a Bigbuckifan Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 What bait do you use to catch the koi Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 What bait do you use to catch the koi Corn and Bread... Im realy not jokeing...you gotta fish for them in the evening or morning and bring some extra bait to toss into the water in area your fishing... you also have got to find the spots where the carp are. Most of the carp I catch are common carp but occasionally il get a koi Quote
Still a Bigbuckifan Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 I know a pond where there are like 3 koi but no carp that i know of do you think this would still work Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I know a pond where there are like 3 koi but no carp that i know of do you think this would still work They do not jump like bass...They usually will pull a lot of drag and run back and forth infront of you or make big runs to deep water. From personal experiance I think normal common carp fight harder than kois... Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I know a pond where there are like 3 koi but no carp that i know of do you think this would still work Yeah it would but youd have to fish when they are feeding....and preferably when they are all together in one spot if there are only three Quote
Super User T-rig Posted May 1, 2008 Super User Posted May 1, 2008 Caught this fish on a black LC spinnerbait. Don't ask me what it is. Quote
Bassnbrett101 Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Thats a carp too. They eat crustaceans and such so they'll hit crankbaits and spinnerbaits sometimes too. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted May 1, 2008 Super User Posted May 1, 2008 Thats a carp too. They eat crustaceans and such so they'll hit crankbaits and spinnerbaits sometimes too. Definately not a carp. I caught many carp, the backfin is different. Here's a carp. Quote
Bassnbrett101 Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 idk to me it looks like a carp. Not the same species as the common carp, it might be a subspecies or something like that. I might have to look it up lol, I'm interested now Quote
Super User T-rig Posted May 1, 2008 Super User Posted May 1, 2008 idk to me it looks like a carp. Not the same species as the common carp, it might be a subspecies or something like that. It's 100% not a carp, trust me. Besides, we only have common carp and the odd koi in the lake I fish. I think it's some kind of weird chub. If you find out what it is, let me know. Carp have barbels at the mouth (the fish in the pic didn't) and their backfin is different. Quote
Super User VolFan Posted May 1, 2008 Super User Posted May 1, 2008 World record shiner? That's what it looks like to me, it's definitely not a carp though. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted May 1, 2008 Super User Posted May 1, 2008 i was going to say it was some type of chub, too. I don't know what kind, but I have caught chub that look very similar but they are silver and not as fat. Quote
-ebby- Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 looks kind of like a fat grass carp http://www.dec.ny.gov/images/fish_marine_images/grasscarp.gif Same color scales and fin placement at least pretty close another- http://www.sdafs.org/laafs/Grass%20Carp%203.JPG Quote

Yeah I can't say i'm positive it isnt but I have to say its really unlikely that the fish you caught is a carp. I was looking at pics last night and the fins on the carp are alot different than the fish you caught. You win that one, I believe you owe me an "I told you so" lol Quote
Super User T-rig Posted May 1, 2008 Super User Posted May 1, 2008 looks kind of like a fat grass carp We don't have any grass carp. I'm glad we don't. Quote
SenkoBasser Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 It looks like a big *** River Chub or fall fish. Got me on that one. Quote
alarcher Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Where was it caught? This might help us solve the puzzle. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted May 2, 2008 Super User Posted May 2, 2008 Where was it caught? This might help us solve the puzzle. In the southern part of switzerland. It might be a SCARDOLA (Scardinius erythrophtalmus)? Quote
