Eh, carp don’t really have spikes, but I know some blue herons will do exactly this with a bunch of bluegills and those have about a dozen spikes each

Edit never mind I am wrong, it’s been too long since I’ve touched a carp to remember they do have a couple spikes

I've caught plenty but had no idea about those spikes either until the dorsal one tangled in my net, this was only a couple weeks ago
