Any carp fisherman here?

As a kid we used worms. Right on the bottom. Caught em for fun. in the red river in winnipeg. 10 pounders constantly
The fun ones are sturgeon. 3 footers will stick to the bottom forever. A real delicacy smoked. but at this point,the river where i live its illegal to keep them. But the population is coming back. Sturgeon has been off limits as long as i can remember.
