Carp are easy picking during the spawn with a bow. 140ish lbs with a bow in 2 hours or so. We fillet them and use the remains to charge biochar.

How do you plan to cook those? Baked, fried or tacos?

I had a friend who grew up eating those. I didn't bother to ask how they tasted.

That's great, Gray! Here in Washington we can fish for Carp without a fishing license. They eat all the vegetation in the bottom of our reservoirs and turn it into poop, which leads to algae blooms. I've been meaning to fish for them, but bow fishing would be a lot of fun, too!

Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.

We fry, grill, and smoke them. The family really likes to make tacos out of fried strips. If cut vertically into 1/4” strips the bones “fry out”. Never would have believed it. A friend recently suggested pickling them. Might give it a try.

Carp fishing--yay! May there be more of it, and may it catch on more and more with American anglers. I know a YouTube channel for anyone who likes this topic:

Great to see.
I've taken them with line, arrow, net, and stabbing/throwing spear.
In addition to all the other cooking methods, they pressure can very well. The canning process jellifies the bones, so your processing time can be cut way down.
The roe is wonderful mixed in and cooked with scrambled eggs.
Keep up the great work!
