Headhunter Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Here's a link to a story outta the U.K. about a carp angler who caught the same fish, twice, a year apart and re-setting his own record! http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006560230,00.html (I'm technically challenged, so just copy the link... enjoy!)

snag Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 ....Yep, saw a picture of it earlier this morning.... Good god! What's wrong with it? Looks like an alien is about to pop out. Locals should lay off the donuts for bait idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GbayGiant Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Looks like it's been sitting on the same couch he caught it on last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I think when buddy caught it a year ago he plugged its butt. That thing looks real bunged up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepps Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Well, next year when he catches it it should be over 90lbs, and the year after, over 100! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I wonder if carp is any good in the smoker..... and would it fit? Hmmmmm modifications will be needed I think. Gerritt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 LOL Gerrit. That would have to be the mother of all smokers. I would go another route. As BBR would say "Chowda"...you could make gallons of it. This second catch really doesn't surprise me however. I just finished my 2nd full season of Carpin and have a "swim" in Bobcaygeon I bait regularly. I have caught this one carp with a good scar on it at least 5 times....stupid fish...over the last 2 summers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setomonkey Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 That thing is grotesque, not b/c it's a carp, but b/c it's freakishly huge. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) Looks like it's been sitting on the same couch he caught it on last year. That is probably so true Gbay It probably never moved from the spot that it was caught the first time Edited December 7, 2006 by Squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carp Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) I wonder if carp is any good in the smoker..... and would it fit? Hmmmmm modifications will be needed I think. Gerritt. I'm good at a lot of things, but I don't smoke dude. As for fitting in. Well, I have to admit, it wouldn't be a bad thing if I shed a few pounds.
