I wouldn't argue with your bass fishing knowledge but me personally, I would hate to restrict my fishing to only one or two species. There are too many fish swimming in the water and a lot of them ae worth catching to me. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a carp is a smarter animal than a smallmouth bass.

Keep in mind catman,Ive been fishing twice as long,at least as you have been alive,the only thing I would think you could teach me about fishing is something I dont care to know about. Anyone that thinks they can't learn anything from someone else has a lot to learn! Imo

Fish for whatever you want,why are you worried about what I fish for?I like fishing for bass,especially smallmouth,I just like it.A carp being smarter?Dont know,hard to believe a vegeterian would be smarter than a meat eating predator  they eat quite a bit of bugs and crawfish in their diet.

Not to mention if you really want a challenge, gar fishing is a blast! Those guys will put up a fight like a freight train. Very fun to catch

my biggest gar was under 6 lbs and they fight vicious but not as hard as some of the carp I have caught. A 4 lb common carp will outfight a 4 lb longnose gar. But gar are definitely a challenge to get a hook set in their jaws.

Ive caught several gar well over 30 lbs,been a while,but seems like they fight hard for a while,then more or less give up.SC is full of big gator gars where I grew up.

Just cause something is a predator doesn't make it smarter. Carp are far from vegetarians too they eat quite a bit of bugs and crawfish in their diet.

Never caught an alligator gar in SC. I have caught a bunch of BIG long nose gar. I had one at the boat on Santee that would have probably hit 70 or 80 pounds. He decided to make a run and broke my line.
