"The silver carp is also called the flying carp for its tendency to leap from the water when startled. They can grow to over 40 lb., and can leap 10 ft. in the air. Many boaters traveling in uncovered high-speed watercraft have been injured by running into the fish while at speed.
Seems like Old Sam should have been a LOT bigger than the 8 lbs or so he appears to be if he was that old. Maybe that couldn't find a bigger fish." Maybe Old Sam couldn't keep weight on because he was always racing along with Goober's speed boat. Or he could have been like Barney and his mother, they could just eat and eat and never gain weight. It all went to muscle. Kim - Wylie, TX --------------------------------- Any questions? Get answers on any topic at Yahoo! Answers.
