Saw a grass carp recently (in a supermarket but well) and they had the cutest face

Fun fact: they're called "amur" in Polish. Amur... Amour... I love them

Big honkin' grass carp. One of these (probably not this one) torpedoed out of the water and smacked me right in the leg. Now I have a giant bruise

We were going to release it, but it took matters into its own fins by jumping right out of my arms and over the side of the boat

Daily fish fact #529

Grass carp!

They reproduce in fast-moving rivers, having their eggs float downstream in the spinning currents! They require very specific conditions to reproduce, so they can't always create a self-sustaining population wherever they've been introduced; due to this they're sometimes used to control undesirable aquatic plants in bodies of water.

Doesn't mean you should release them wherever, of course. Grass carps are an introduced species in many areas, much like other species of carps.
