Carter Barnes - Carp

Just think that Mr. Carter Barnes hung a carp so large that he could not get him out with the line reaching down, so he thrust his hand through the carp's gill and mouth.   Then the monster swam out in the stream and the last we saw of him he was going towards Macon.   Have you heard anything about Carter loosing his tub of bait?
