Yes, easily 20 lb carp. I've done quite a bit of bowfishing too & weigh my fish. I've taken two 29 pounders and one 31 pounder. Usually though, the carp are under 20. Spearing, I've shot two 23 pounders and one 24 pounder.
I don't know, how long does it take for a carp to get that big? Carp are bad...
but I sure like seeing them because they are fun to shoot, especially the big ones!!
That was the first trout I had seen too (10-15 trips). Then Saturday I saw a whole bunch in the same area I always dive. I ran into a school of at least 10 on one dive. Usually I just see a bunch of smallies, but only saw 2 or 3. I was wondering if they maybe just stocked it for the opening day of trout season. There's room in that lake to hide anything!

They used to stock the lake with trout years ago, but then stopped- at least that's what I was told.
Maybe they started agin? If they did start planting trout, I wonder if that now means we can no longer spearfish there? I talked to the local warden a few years ago and he told me spearing was completely legal in the lake at that time, but if they are now planting I'm starting to wonder if that changes things.

I thought the regs only regulated against spearing in TROUT STREAMS. Cause there are many lakes that have planted trout. Even in lakes that run into trout streams- it's ok. Just the streams themselves are off limits.
not sure- I didn't get anytime off this summer- as it was already taken. But I might be able to do a weekend. Will have to look at my schedule at work.
