Carp Diem! Sieze The Fish! That would be "Carpe Carp". "Carp Diem" is fish-of-the-day.

Would that not be "Fish the day" ?

"some fish farmers down in Arkansas thought it would be a good idea to import Asian carp from China to eat up all the pond scum in their hatcheries."
Another harmful 'gift' from Arkansas.

I thought the Great Lakes were all shot from zebra mussels. Whatever happened to them?

Would that mean Strone Diem is Soup-of-the-day ?
To: GoLightly

and gobble as much as 40 percent of their body weight a day. Sounds like Rosanne or Rosie.

Would that mean Strone Diem is Soup-of-the-day ? Perhaps, in "mini" quantities.

After I heard that they raised the water quality, reports about them seem to have dropped to nil.

That would be "Carpe Carp". "Carp Diem" is fish-of-the-day. Unless you are in France, where it would be carp de jure
My French spelling ability is non existant.

I dont know anything about their carp but had an uncle that was a diver with the corps of engineers on the civil side. Theyd dive down to inspect dams and locks and stuff.
I never ventured far up north but somewhere up there he claimed they had some sort of sturgeon or something that were huge. He was probably 6 feet tall and 185 pounds and claimed the fish were big enough to eat him.

In the summer I live on the lake and winter just a few miles away. I am awestruck every time I look at it. It's a sight to behold!
