A small carp here in RI is about 5 lbs., give or take a couple of pounds. In the dead of summer when everything slows down, the bigger carp are hard to find and hard to catch. However, the small ones remain active and plentiful in spots. I have been out in the last two mornings and have found good numbers of smaller ones that are actively feeding and hitting freelined doughballs. I see fish breaking here and there, and they seem to hit well up until noontime. These small ones are real feisty once hooked. They will cartwheel around, rip drag and continue the fight until they are in the net. I'm guessing they could win a tug-of-war against a fat and lazy 20 lber.
