It was fun fishing at the Kansas River. Nice weather indeed, a year ago I caught two silver carps (asian carp, flying carp etc.) and released them but now after some research that it does taste good so I had to try! I'll cook them up and decide if it is actually good 😊 I tried to catch the catfish as well but I wasn't in the right area so no catfish for me this time. It's always fun to do something different than bass fishing. Happy Sunday ya all! #gourefishing #kansasriver #silvercarp #asiancarp #flyingcarp #kawriver #happythanksgiving
