We used to can, of all things Grass Carp. We shot them bowfishing.They would run 50-60 pounds or so. Took an ice chest and electric fillet knife in the boat with us. We would fillet them still wiggling and get them on ice immediately. They are full of little bones like Tuna. Canning got rid of them. We would then use it like canned tuna. We would make Carp Cakes, Carp fish, and Carp cassarole. Yummy. Better than Tuna in some dishes.
Two guys shooting could literally make the third one with the knife cry "Unckle"
