how do they fight? I saw Bill Dance fishing for them one time and thought it was very exotic.

I have more pics of odd fish but I am at school now and a lot of them are not on my photobucket and are on home computer...

What bait do you use to catch the koi

Corn and Bread...

Im realy not jokeing...you gotta fish for them in the evening or morning and bring some extra bait to toss into the water in area your fishing... you also have got to find the spots where the carp are. Most of the carp I catch are common carp but occasionally il get a koi

I know a pond where there are like 3 koi but no carp that i know of do you think this would still work

They do not jump like bass...They usually will pull a lot of drag and run back and forth infront of you or make big runs to deep water. From personal experiance I think normal common carp fight harder than kois...

Yeah it would but youd have to fish when they are feeding....and preferably when they are all together in one spot if there are only three

Caught this fish on a black LC spinnerbait. Don't ask me what it is.

Thats a carp too. They eat crustaceans and such so they'll hit crankbaits and spinnerbaits sometimes too.

Definately not a carp. I caught many carp, the backfin is different.

Here's a carp.

idk to me it looks like a carp.  Not the same species as the common carp, it might be a subspecies or something like that.

I might have to look it up lol, I'm interested now

It's 100% not a carp, trust me. Besides, we only have common carp and the odd koi in the lake I fish. I think it's some kind of weird chub. If you find out what it is, let me know. Carp have barbels at the mouth (the fish in the pic didn't) and their backfin is different.

World record shiner?  That's what it looks like to me, it's definitely not  a carp though.

i was going to say it was some type of chub, too. I don't know what kind, but I have caught chub that look very similar but they are silver and not as fat.

Yeah I can't say i'm positive it isnt but I have to say its really unlikely that the fish you caught is a carp. I was looking at pics last night and the fins on the carp are alot different than the fish you caught. You win that one, I believe you owe me an "I told you so" ;) lol

looks kind of like a fat grass carp

We don't have any grass carp. I'm glad we don't. ;)

Where was it caught? This might help us solve the puzzle.

In the southern part of switzerland. It might be a SCARDOLA (Scardinius erythrophtalmus)?
