Grass carp are great fighters. I don't know anyone who goes fishing for them as their primary target but most fishermen are willing to chase whatever presents itself. I have been fortunate to catch a few grass carp including one around 7.5 lbs. on a 3 wt. It pulled me around in my float tube a little while.

Actually here in Phoenix, we have quite a few people that target them in some of the urban waters. Some are common, some are grass, and some are Koi. Its a real rush on 5 to 7 lb ones, as all I and my wife use for them are our 2wt's

Ever thought of selling the big koi to dealer/collector? They are big money in fish stores

Nope, strictly a catch and release urban fishery, barbless, and single hook. There are 21 ponds in this complex, state regulated and some up to a mile in perimiter.
Also regulary patrolled by state park rangers.
