Guyk likes to fish and I wonder how many meals he could get out of this big foul tasting Carp…
I have never eaten any carp before but I have ate me some Gar made like Hush Puppies by a lady in Louisiana and they wer’nt that bad at all…
Darin Opel, of Worden, has bow fished for 25 years, but this giant Asian carp is his biggest catch by far. Opel bagged the fish Sunday in a backwater on the Mississippi River near Alton.
Nobody will be getting the fish Opel caught Sunday — except maybe the Guinness Book of World Records.
Bow fishing for gar from the shore in backwater above the Melvin Price Lock and Dam No. 26 on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River near Alton, Opel shot a 92-pound, 8-ounce bighead carp with a compound bow and arrow.
After fighting the behemoth for 10 minutes, Opel jumped into the muddy water, bearhugged the beast and inched him to the shore.
