Carp Rescue!

While I have spent a lot of time fishing this summer, I have also been able to help some fish.  At our church picnic, I noticed a small pool that had 14 large carp in it.  The pool had been connected to the Grand River at one time, but as the water had gone down, the carp were stranded.  I gathered a posse of carp rescuers, grabbed my big pike net from the van, and went to the pool.

I scooped up a carp, and carried it several hundred feet to the Grand River to be released.  I repeated the procedure five times during the course of the picnic.  Carp are not everyone's favorite fish, but I'm happy I was able to help them out!
