I agree with you, pound for pound a carp is as good a fighter as any
fish you can find in fresh water. I have caught a couple big pike up
north that went way into the backing at speeds aproaching a bonefish,
and that with 20 pound leader straining hard to stop them, but out of a
couple thousand pike, only a handfull fought as hard as a typical carp.

And I say the same is true between bones and barracudas.

The 'cudas are impressive/fearsome looking but the bones will be the ones that
wear you out...
