That's a big Carp, Congrats.

congrats on your catch.. please take out as many silvers as you can.. they are invasive to quite a degree. and are very detrimental to the health of the lake , river the live in ..
they are constantly feeding and the way they eat they swallow a lot of phyto and zoo plankton.. which are much need as building blocks of the food chain for the rest of the indigenous species,on india..
the silvers are mainly of chinese origin.. are used quite extensively as aquaculture fish.. but much to the detriment of the other indigenous species..

a certain person i am accuainted with ..who has leased a lake that has wild masheer, mully , and indigenous carps .. introduced these silvers or bighead carps.. and he totally regrets it..
they are a bit popular coz they grow fast , cheap to rear, and from a consumer point of view they sell for cheaper than other carps.. but they spoil very fast , their flesh quality is rubbish.. so. really not a very desired fish on the whole.. let the chinese be happy with them .hahahaha!

thanks.... lionheart , whitesnapper, hamour !
i did not know that silver carp are so similar to bighead carp in their feeding habits though they look very similar except the head size. they tire very fast, i took out this fish in just 7-8 mins . these carp bleed so much once they are out of water , but i could not figure out where the blood is coming out from? it was same with the other one i caught couple of weeks ago( i guess they bleed from their gills).

thanks apoo!
nepal trip would be great. i want to cover teesta and kosi in one go. so i think second half of april would be right time for mahseer in both the places. what do you say?

April would be nice.
