Used to see that on Lake Ontario pretty often and not just carp,smallmouth bass also.
looks like winter kill, it happens when a shallower pond or lake with a lot of the weeds on the bottom. the ice freezes, oxygen from above is eliminated, weeds die due to lack of sun, stop producing oxygen and start using it to decompose, once this happens, the oxygen is sucked away and everything dies. but there is a good side to this, if not all the fish die, it will be the bigger more experienced ones that survived b finding deep holes.
