(Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly noted that Tony Crawford owns Midway Lakes in Kings Mountain, N.C. He actually only owns Midway Lakes II and the story has been updated to reflect that.)

It’s about the owner of a “pay lake” business in North Carolina coming up several times each year to the Seneca River in Onondaga County – particularly after the Wild Carp Classic each spring – to catch carp that he uses to stock in his pay lake. A pay lake is a business where anglers pay to fish and compete for hourly and daily cash prizes.
