we get a lot of carp with hare-lips. and often missing gill covers so the gill looks like a sea anemone grown off its head.
look like photo shop

Yup thats my guess too,back over the pond i was always catching fish on a regular basis that had a bit missing here or there,that was due to pike/the black death(cormorants).
no toothy critters in that water but boat props

Thanks guys! It was my first experience with this species. I've heard the hype about how strong they are and what great fighters they are, and I must say, I was not dissapointed!
Phone - I have yet to catch a full striper, but I can tell you...Hybrid/Wipers kick striper's ass! Lol. The guy who took me out has caught plenty of both, and says that hybrids will outfight Stripers anyway. In fact, he told me he was catching 4lb hybrids before he caught his first striper, and when he did finally get his first Striper, also a 4lb...it was dissapointing! Lol.
I wouldn't say that Hybrids will "out-fight" a carp, as it is a very different kind of fight, but I would say they probably equal the fight of a carp.
They are definitely just as strong, though, can strip just as much drag, and have as much stamina as a carp. Plus, they like to throw their bulky bodies sideways to make it even harder to move them. They head shake, they run every direction, they strip tons of drag at a whim, they're strong, sturdy, and bulky as hell.
I was catching them on light spinning gear with 6lb test, and they would run under the boat, and literally bend my pole into a complete U. It was awesome. Lol.
They're awesome fish. Can't wait to catch some more.
My three favorite species to catch are now, in no particular order:
Smallmouth Bass
Common Carp
Hybrid Striper/White
nice fish

The "hole" at Lockport was still producing Monday afternoon. I was fortunate to land 15 carp (5-12 pound range) including my first mirror. Unfortunately, this was a spur of the moment fishing outing, and I did not have my camera with me for proof. By the way, my thanks to Mike, Cory, and whomever else made the venue even better by getting rid of those pesky trees and bushes!--Frank
your welcome

Well went out to state line again with my brother Ranger Ryan and we met up with Kingfisher. Fishing was slow for the silver fish when we got out there, but I didn't fish for them very long. I could here the Carp calling my name...........so I baited up the carp rods and it didn't take long for the first run.
Not a bad fish but kind of on the small size. A little while later there was another run..
Well they're getting bigger.....
By this time we had missed some fish and broken off a few and Ryan gets into this nice brown, caught on a minnow under a float.
nice one good jobHere are a couple more carp that fell to sweet corn..
And the last and the biggest carp of the day goes to ranger ryan...
It was another great day fishing with my brother. I ended up going 6 for 8 on the carp, and Ryan went 1 for 2 plus his 8 1/2 lb Brown Trout.

The cold weather and frost has made it difficult fishing lately, but I managed to hook a nice fish in the early hours of yesterday morning. A raging storm blew during the night, and this must of got a few big lumps feeding and moving over the baits. I had cast a 20mm Shellfish boilie at long range to fall just short of some submerged tree branches that were now underwater due to the floods of the nearby river bringing up the lake water-table. Here is a pick of the fish. A very deep-bodied fish with enormous frame. Not the usual streamlined long common carp that I prefer, but this mirror did put up a good fight during the storm:
way to go tony

Nope that's pre-spawn indications. Remember carp start packing on weight and altering for the spawn over the winter.
thanks keith
-
can this be somthing else?........or is it from spawn
