a   neighbor  use to  get  carp  and  take them  into  Terre Haute--- sell them    to  some of  the   poorer  families    --- they  would  what's called  cold pack-- then clean  them  first...  they are   not  great fish.

one time  my grampa shidler   got  4  big ones  that were trapped this way-- he    put them in his  old  horse trough  for  3 months (kept clean water and   fed them dog food)     still tasted like  MUD!


we   got to plant  90acres today...   dodged a few mud holes  doing it..  but  that much more is out of the way.
