If it makes you feel any better Dave, We buy the "extras" from the hatchery. No wild caught rainbow carp being mis-treated here!!! The good thing is, whatever don't die a sudden and violent death at the hands of a 40+ pound striper......we get to take home and eat!!!! Skipjack, and gizzard shad aren't that tasty !!!!

Just had to yank your chain a bit!!! :p I will say your reply, although tastefully written, is a tad more harsh than that I get from other trout fishermen!
