    You can yeet goldfish. Carp are stupid tough. It’s the tropical fish we often keep that are kinda wimpy. Also, they’re not coming from a super healthy environment (the store) to our tanks.

      I would watch carp throwing as a competitive sport, they aren’t going to make it easy

          I definitely have not, and now I have. I’m unsure if I should thank you for this or not.

          I feel like it takes the sport out of it if the fish is dead though. The whole sport of the carp throwing is that a carp absolutely can kick a grown man’s ass and flop to freedom if he isn’t careful. You leave a carp alone long enough and those things turn into damn near coelacanths. They’ll eat your dog. Manhandling one of those suckers into a parabolic arc is going to take skill, strength, planning, and luck.
