Longshank Report, Carp & Cats

I kid you not. My grandparents, who resided on Carlaw Ave. in T.O would buy a carp at the"Jewish Market". This was back in the late 60's and 70's. I'm thinking it was the Kensington Market, but I'm not sure. They were immigrants from war torn Yugoslavia, nothing went to waste. Those carps I still remember as some of the finest meals Iv'e eaten. Was it the spices, I don't know.

Lots of people still eat Carp, nothing wrong with them as long as they are 'flushed' for 2-4 days. And smaller would be better as most fish

I would not eat a carp from the spot I was fishing though

took me 23 minutes, my back and arms were sore

Werner, you got a tuff life there buddy.

You earn your living going fishing. Then you spend your leisure time going fishing.

Yup, real tuff life.

Time is my enemy John and a guy has got to do what he's got to do


I got to plant tomatoes this week , then chase some eyes I hope

That's a Bute Clark. Wow 30lbs Good for you dragging that beast to the surface for a photo. I need to learn your time management skills. Charters, fishing, gardening, clearly you have life mastered. You deserve it buddy enjoy

Congrats Werner.. What a beast of a fish.

Well done sir..

I have tangled with a few of these fish in my years, it's like hooking up with a train.
