When I was an undergraduate at VCU, I would skip class and go bow fishing there in the James River. Lots of carp and huge amour plated gar. There was a Black family that I encountered at “my spot” frequently. They offered me $.50 for each carp (most over 5lbs., and some monsters). I could not accept the money (although I could have used it for art supplies), but I’ll never forget how happy they were to get those big carp.
