Weird Carp?

Featured Replies

I have caught a few weird fish but I hooked a carp yesterday that I have not ever seen before.  I was fishing a LC Slender Pointer near the bank when I saw a quick flash near the top of the water.  An 8lb carp had just took a snap at a jerk bait and I hooked him.  I have never caught a carp on a jerkbait.  When I reeled this thing in, I thought it was a common grass carp but this fish had a large single mandible tooth like a salt water trigger fish.  Needless to say my LC lure had a junk taken out of it and I had a tough time getting the hooks out.

I did a little research online and found nothing.  Have you guys seen a carp like this?  

Got a pic?

Asian carp maybe?  They will hit cranks and jerkbaits.  :-?

Probably another exotic fish

I use to have an arowana in a 125gallon tank, not exactly a carp but close ;D.

I wish I could find a pic but maybe I can post a pic of the lure sometime. I did find a pic of a puffer fish that had the same type tooth and mouth look that the carp I caught had.
