The man surprised anyone passing by and saw the moment he got out of his car to catch the fish. Danielle Garcia, a woman, said in an interview with John Carlos Estrada of CBS: “Oh, he has dinner tonight! He (the fish) was swimming along the road.”
Still according to Danielle, in an interview for Fox, several drivers who saw the fish in the flood decided to stop on the road so that the animal would not be run over.
However, she and the other drivers were taken by surprise when the man decided to get out of his car to catch the fish, which he saw as a form of prize.
Nowadays, eating carp meat may not be very interesting, as the fish has several bones. In addition, its meat can be rich in geosmin oil, present in blue algae (fish food), and which gives an unpleasant taste and puts many people off.
The carp in the video in question was golden, a rare species known to reach a higher weight than others, which attracts fishermen. In general, the taste of the meat of this fish will depend on its origin, species and diet.
