About Grass Carp
A large, plant-eating carp of lakes, canals and slow rivers, often seen cruising and grazing weed near the surface in warm weather. Anglers stalk them with floating baits like bread crust, grass cuttings and surface pellets, presented quietly to sighted fish. They are wary and powerful, so a careful approach and strong gear are needed for the long, dogged fight.
Typical size: Typically 5 to 15 kg; trophy fish exceed 25 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 40 kg (varies by region).
