[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4612345, member: 6230"] lol thats laughable, like i said, they have NO TRUE STOMACH, just a foregut and hind gut. they cant eat anything that cant pass through their gill rake system, big head or silver. according to the gut content study only 20% of organic matter makes it to the digestive track. and like you said, “unless its something extremely tiny”. i would imagine Trigger was probably throwing something like a 10xd. big heads and silver are both closely related. black and grass carp are in another group in the minnow family. so here is the thing, if these 2 types of carp are eating 3-5” shad, then why are more than one caught at a time? you would think that you could catch one on every cast, but they are not, as these are incidental catches. the only way to purposely catch one on a hook is by suspending a particle based food from a cage ball with small hooks attached to it. here is one of the gut content studies: [url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3930320/#!po=56.1538]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl ... po=56.1538[/url] [/QUOTE]
