This goes back to when NJbands said there was a shortage of carp and everybody agreed that was an odd statement.

There's no reason to call someone out on keeping carp. They're virtually everywhere.

There's some truth in that a carp caught before will be a bit more finnicky next time. That's with any fish really; they wise up the more they are caught.
