Here in Ohio it is 3 rods in the boat/2 in use per person rule..
That was the State rule last time I checked a few yrs ago.. Lately,I mainly go to private waters and no rules apply on private waters..No rod rule, no catch limit, no license needed.. The private owners usually request catch & release or you dont get the permission to fish..
My neighbor has a private pond about a 200 meter walk from my house.. It is 5 acres in size & a second pond about 9 acres, no pike tho,.. I asked if I could stock some fingerlings in the larger pond but he was afraid they (pike) might clean it out of bluegill,crappie & bass..

Yes the carp locally are common carp, great length, a bit short on girth in my opinion.
Im going to say the majority of fisherpersons here detest the idea of eating carp.. It is the "bottom feeder" in their eyes..
My Father cooks carp alot.. He removes mudvane, bakes in the oven with fresh tomato chunks & onions, tomato paste poured over the fillet.. Pretty good eating..

I always thought you had to put a carp in a bath of fresh water for a few days, Just to get rid of the earthy taste,
