Thanks, guys. From looking on Wikipedia I do think it's some sort of carp.

I hope it's not in your local waters.......... I saw a Documentary on Grass Carp and the trouble they have caused in the mid-west.

Cheers,

I don't know where the photos were taken, I assumed PNW but might not be.

Carp. Don't eat it. Bury it in your garden.

edit: they put up one hell of a fight when they get big. Get a fatty hook and some 12lb+ line and go fishing with canned corn. Fertilizer for the year and some good fishing to boot!

[BabaBooey]

asian carp to be exact.

Those are common in Oregon's Willamette River.

Asian carp, we have them here and they are a pita. You cannot run a power boat down a lake with these in it, they will jump out of the lake (from vibrations from the boat), and smack you in the face, body, etc. Several people have been struck by these while running a boat at high speed and have been bruised or knocked out of the boat. We have an active program to eliminate these fish. They were originally placed in lakes to remove pond scum, however it has also been discovered that they eat other fish eggs and small fry therefore reducing the game fish population!!!! Not good for bass fishermen.

if you take those into battle with you and switch them out right from the get-go, you can earn XP for them so they can turn into Gyarados
