Dead grass carp from #16 pond..........

Here is a dead grass carp we fished off of the pond bank yesterday. It was about 30 inches long and smelled really bad.

This fish is from the first batch of carp we introduced into the pond to control our aquatic weed problem. Two years after our first stock we stocked the pond with 30 more grass carp. The combination of biological control and chemical control has solved what once was a real problem concerning irrigation reliability and irrigation pumping equipment breakdown.
