"Carp"e Deum
How do you make a man happy? Hand him a fishing pole, a 12 pack of Budweiser, a bucket of bait and face him toward a boat. Then tell him to "go fish" for 6 hours. At least that's the way the Annual Carp Tournament works. The plan is to catch as many carp as possible in the time allotted, competing for the longest, the most, the heaviest, etc. Several confident participants placed bets on themselves and went home with a tidy sum. Unfortunately, the carp didn't fare so well. After the weigh-in, they were unceremoniously dumped into a large truck and hauled to a nearby farm to be fed to some hungry hogs. Entertainment for one group is often torture for another.
