When i was in southeast Asia the United States Army furnished us fishbait. Lots of streams & rivers over there & yes, some of the fish were different. If we found a good deep hole in a stream just toss in 1 grenade & in a moment there was fish everywhere. I don't know if the Marines & Air Force could go armed but us soldiers could. We had lots of exciting hikes through the woods & would often stop & picnic near a quiet stream. Some of the lucky guys like me even got to spend a lot of nights sleeping in the woods & enjoying the sounds of nature all around us. Yea, I'm getting old too.

Old and a vivid imagination...
I got to camp out a lot too. The only nature sounds I heard were huge birds that went boom, and smaller birds that had a high pitched buzzing sound. I did actually hear the aw s___t bird a few times and the fu monkey. Life was so wonderful with so much aw inspired nature. One great story is when we lifted off at day light and on the way to the LZ I saw what looked like a moving rainbow. As we got closer it was hundreds of parakeets and everytime they banked the sun reflected off their wings. It was beautiful and relaxing to see. It took my mind off where we were going.

Hacksaw, it’s amazing the beauty you can see even in what we often refer to as God forsaken places!

Sterba, you're so correct. I saw a lot of beautiful animals and scenery. Mountains, water falls, rivers, etc., but after seeing the beauty, I saw the ugliness of war. One time flying back to basecamp, I saw a pink elephant. A gosh to honest pink elephant. I told the pilots and they thought I had gone nuts. They turned around and there it was. In that part of the country the soil is red so when they bathe in the dirt they turn pink looking. It’s things most people never see. The down side is the enemy used elephants to move they’re equipment and supplies. Always beauty, always a down side.

Bowfin fry hatch about 2 weeks before carp fry. They start hammering the young of the year carp fry as soon as they hatch. The young Bowfin grow to about 4 inches the first month and the adult bowfin gorge on 2 to 3 in Carp right after the bowfin spawn. They have a penchant for the young Carp and I have never seen a Bass of any size in a Bowfin's stomach . Please don't kill a Bowfin / Dogfish in front of me or any of my fishing buddies because i guarantee one of us will say something that may hurt your feelings. I don't begrudge the fact that they take a few Bluegills and Greenears but anything that takes out the amount of carp that they do is a useful critter in my book !

I totally agree agatemaggot. It’s natures way of equalizing the cul fish. In Florida restaurants a carp is on the menu. It’s gotta be a different carp than I’m thinking about.

The question, maggot, is do they continue to eat carp? That 16 pounder Real Fisherman caught was eating plenty of something.

I'll always throw a yellow carp in the weeds, and a gar, and a bow fin, although I may try to eat one since some of you said you do.

On another note, I did find a nine inch bass in the stomach of a six pound channel cat once. Changed my view of catfish.

Also have had very large bass attack a smaller bass I was reeling in more than once.
It was rather terrifying.
