I actually tried cooking them this year and can honestly say they turned out good! They are very bony so what I did was cut the fillets off of them first. Instead of scoring them I cut them into a bunch of small chunks and put them through a meat grinder like i would making hamburger for deer. Then i mixed in seasoning, rolled the meat up in little balls (meatball size),then rolled them in bread crumbs and finally deep fried them. Kind of a lot of work but better then wasting the fish throwing them in the ditch.

Another option, in case you get tired of the many many deep fried carp balls, is to help those squash and pumpkins grow - one of these chopped up and buried can give you some nice gardening results. As a kid in central WI I remember growing a 100+ pound banana squash courtesy of a big fat carp I snagged and brought home. At any rate, make use of them.
