Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and attraction is relative. To another carp, the attraction of these lips is irresistible. --Frank

p.s. Always practice CPR (Catch, Photo, Release). No carp were harmed in the creation of this photo.

Thanks, Nick. These fish are great fighters and are valued as a sportsfish in Europe. I appreciate your comments about this 14-pound "beauty."--Frank

Attraction for sure, a vacuum with fins!
Imaginative thinking and high quality.

Hi Frank!
Glad to hear no carp were harmed!
There's a place close to where I live where someone mentioned a 50lb carp was caught. Yours was only 14 lbs? It looks bigger than that!
Catching one of those would definitely attract me into coming back to get more!

That CPKR is what Jimmy Houston does, Bev, but not me . Some of my associates have caught koi and huge goldfish on the same baits. Thanks for the comments.--Frank

A bit of a tongue in cheek entry this week, Dan. That vacuum metaphor is right on. Thanks for the kind comments.--Frank

Thanks, Bob. Yes, they do get that big, but out of the DesPlaines River, the common catches are 3-15 pounds.--Frank

Nicely done! I love the background. The colors, brightness, clarity and shine on that beauty is perfect.

I can buy fish for less trouble than cleaning them, Howard. Come to think of it, I haven't brought a fish home in over 20 years; so Mrs. Carp, Mrs. Bass, Mrs. Bluegill, etc. can all breathe easy.--Frank

Frank,

Great job! Lighting and colors are superb. You even were able to capture that slimy looking skin or perhaps I should say scales. Not so sure I would be attracted it on or off the plate but I am sure another carp would.

Oh Frank, what a great face!! For all we know, he might be the most handsome Carp in the water, and lady Carp are lining up just hoping to 'catch' his eye.
Since you caught him first, they'll be glad you put him back into the dating 'pool.'


Excellent execution, great color, and a clever concept. Super job!

Karen--I share your sentiments about its attractiveness as table fare. Thanks for your very kind comments.--Frank
