OMG!! This is kinda a wet dream for most of us in WV and he bagged it with a compound bow; that cheater! I would have rather seen him bring it in on 3 pound test while fishing for bluegill. I gotta forward this one to hubby if I can get him to open his email

That would be a tussle on rod and reel, not a walk in the park with a bow. If he caught him on a bow reel with 20 pound test still a tough task, the only thing about bow fishing the fish is usually destroyed, a shame if not going to be consumed. The mercury content in our big rivers is usually pretty toxic for bottom feeders, I am referring to catfish, paddlefish, carp, etc., not politicians. Carp fishing is a sport in itself for many die hard anglers.

I've know carp that have put up a hell of a fight!

I was just joking about the five pound test Cabanaben! Remember when I caught that citation small mouth bass and it just swam towards me until I tried to put it on land? Hahahahahahahaha, I almost threw my fishing pole back in the water, but you stopped me. I'll never forget that brown trout that got away from you either; I think you were using 5 pound test and that sucker was at least 5 pounds (I was so jealous)
@Skwirl: Carp have been known to be one of the best fighting fish

Wow!
