Introducing another Carp species?

[big Neil]

Yesterday we had 38mm of rain, then suddenly it stopped, mid afternoon. The sun appeared, the dark clouds disappeared and a full moon raised itself above the Eastern horizon. Nature is wonderful you know...the big yellow sun and the big white moon in the sky together. A fairly common sight out here in the Southern Central West, where the landscape is flat for thousands of kilometres.

Now what was I going to post? Aah, that's right...another Carp species. Ladies and gentlemen (fanfare please)...let me introduce the MICK JAGGER CARP.

 

Just look at those sumptuous lips...

Okay, enough fooling around. Have any of you noticed that SOME Carp have "normal" type mouths and some (the Mick Jagger Carp) have these humungous lips' This is a serious question...I wonder why they differ? Any of you fish experts on Fishraider got an opinion? I would really like to know.

Not sure about the Carp but you've got some great country down your way and thanks for sharing that.

That carp certainty has some fat lips 😆. Maybe they are an adaptation to make sifting through the soil easier to find food?

A sensible statement Isaac

Hi Neil,

I sent a copy to Mick. He said thanks. Mick loves the Australian bush.

Top report.

Great photos.

Cheers.

Haha!!! Straight away I thought of this @big Neil. Kenny Everett was a fruit loop that's for sure.

Oh that's an absolute scream. Intense laughing all the way through it. Thanks so much for posting the skit. bn
