For eating ... I'll stick with these goldfish.

I bet you some Japanese businessman with too much money and not enough sense would have paid thousands for one of these live.
When I was a kid there was a creek near my house that we all went crawfishing in. One winter about a thousand foot-long goldfish miraculously appeared. I guess somebody must have cleaned out their Koi pond.
How is that different from the thousands I’ve seen in koi ponds?
CARP
I tried to catch one of these with my bare hands at the edge of a lake.. No luck! Quicker than they look! I HAVE caught golden carp in the Yakima river 4 times this size.. Dragged my entire rod and reel into the river and caught it all back WITH the fish about two hours later!!!
Wow! What’s your secret?
mumble mumble mumble.
What? I can’t understand a word you said!
*spits something into hand* Ya gotta keep the worms warm!
Oh my goodness that’s Flippy I flushed him down the toilet years ago.
More than likely someones bait that got off the hook and survived for awhile used to be most bait fish bought were a type of carp they were many different colors including gold..
I wanted to add I dumped some of our bait fish that we had left over into a Pond that had never had any fish last time I checked there were 100s of the things some of them had grown to 10 or 12 lbs.
Goldfish are strange... they grow in proportion to the size of their tank...
