I've had Carp a couple of times and it wasn't very good. Now around St Louis and Central IL were I lived for a couple of years Buffalo was real popular at the restaurants and a lot of people think it is Carp and try and eat the Carp they catch, then they find out they are not the same and Buffalo tastes a heck of a lot better than Carp.

yea, around here people will bow hunt them and throw them away. They are considered garbage. I personally dont like that unless they are a problem. I am uploading some more pics now.
