Thats Cool

 

Its funny, shot all kindsa stuff big and small, yet this little ol butterfly carp is neat .

 

I've heard alive those are worth some decent money

 

Dang that's crazy looking. Never seen anything like it. Deformed common?

 

I'd have to give some serious thoughts to getting it mounted.

 

It would already be at the taxidermist

 

That would be a cool mount

 

Good job Jake! Did you have the boy running push pole for ya??

 

That's cool! :tu:

I've killed solid orange ones and solid black ones but have never seen one like that except in pictures. This past spring I shot a calico looking one that was orange, black and white but it pulled off when I tried lifting it out of the water.

 

Thats cool . I've never encountered one with big fins . All the koi I've shot have just had regular fins . From what I've read this is a plain ol' common who has a genetic issu making its fins continue to grow . Maybe it ain't real rare but it's a first for me. And I hadn't ever seen pics of too many .

 

Those things are really cool!

 

Cool fish...

 

That's awesome!!

Was that useful?? Even with a high post count?

 

Nice fish. Still haven't seen one, some day ill get one.

"Was that useful?? Even with a high post count?" Lol

 

JJ shot one during the toledo tournament. They are neat fish.

 

Daggonnit, Jake! You're going to really stat having to get creative from here out to better your past sucesses! Very cool!

 

Very nice.

 

Cool fish

 

I've got one about 20 to 25 pounds in the freezer. Just lookin for the right taxidermist. I've seen several come off of toledo. Caughtca white bass likecthat too. But apparently its a hypertrophic growth disorder found in sunfish and minnow species that causes the fins to grow at a rapid rate

 

That a awesome fish it 5k with out a hole in it but look more cool with the hole lol.

 

Awesome! Wall Hanger!

 

Awesome fish

 

whats the difference in this and a koi with the big fins???

 

I went back today cause the boy wanted to go to "the swamp " lol . . I'm pretty sure I saw another one .

 

W/O pics, It didn't happen .... lol ... J/K ... your slippin bud, not spossed to letum get away ... lol

 

Thats awesome! I saw one with similar fins in a creek close to home once, but they weren't near that big. Just walked down to see if it was worth shooting and he cruised by me at about 3 feet. Sprinted back to the truck to get the bow but he was gone :headbang:

 

Brent sent me a picture of your fish. That thing is awesome.

 

Thanks man . It wasn't no 50# plus common , but it'll hafta do . Lol. It was just cool shooting a fish that surprised me .
