Carp Parts--Scales

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.

  2. Agreed 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.
