Anyone know of any water with some big ugly goldfish in it? I've checked grass carp off my list but I haven't been able to see the deal on a common.

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted..... proud Cracker-Americaan muslims are like coyotes, only good one is a dead one

I always see a ton of them and some pretty big ones at that. Only thing is the water is really clear so not sure how that would affect you.
