that big carp you saw last year probably is also in the magical over 50 years old. there was also a 48inch specimen shot in bald eagle lake that was probably from original stocking program by the DNR roughly 1912 or so, and was a lost specimen from the original Ashgrunder German blood line that died off in Europe during WWII. as genetic pure blood brood stock it was worth 7 figures alive and would be sellable for cash within days on the international market.... incidental for those not familiar carp is the world most domesticated fish. it is also claims the place for highest volume raised for food(not in the usa), and i think widest global distribution. it was also one of the first animals cloned. Japanese koi carp, which are genetically selectively breed originally from the German lines, are all sorts of colors, and thru special selection, are coming close to 1.2 meter length. some exceed $1 mill on the retail end. also they can be taught to do tricks with basket balls! carp are the only Minnesota fish that can navigate and remember lake contours and use them to navigate. domesticated specimens can recognize its owner much like a dog.
