I called this Carp "Tommy Two-Tone". He had the most interesting scale coloration of any Carp I have caught.

Nice scales on a fat Common
Taking the "long view"
Love the Mirrors

Their scales are so unique.
Ha ha.
I understand this scale pattern on a Common makes it referred to as a Muddler.
Is it summer yet?!!
Up close the rays on the scales were very visible. What a cool animal!
A one scale Mirror.
I bet he bragged to his friends about his scale.
Summer will be here soon.
I have a post I am going to do on "dead ones". These next two pictures show the scales from a dead fish very well. There was so little left from this Carp.
Back to play with his friends
Three Commons with different color scales
Such a cool Mirror!
Another Muddler
A stomach with a handle on it.
Anyone who says carp are ugly isn't paying attention. Great stuff Mr P!
ReplyDeleteAgreed with Ty! Nice Mr.P! I learned things as well. I understand if you catch one with a black portion it has been electroshocked. I see those on grass carp.
