have a bunch of trash fish in your area, you may want to give this a
try. I just left the fish whole and put them about a foot under the

Hi EVP Man, What a shame, over here in the UK, carp are much sought after by anglers as a sport fish and a 30lb fish would fetch around $15000 from any fishery owner. Many cultures rate carp very highly as a cullinary delicacy and yes, fishmeal does make a good fertilizer but normally dried and ground down not buried in the ground whole Haaaaaa. Anyway, in Uk it is illegal to remove any fish from rivers and lakes (except maybe trout) !!
Why dont you advertise here in UK for fishing holidys you could make alot of money Haaaaaaaaa
