I thought the same thing Kevin... now I KNOW what these guys "see" in em..

 

great fight... not as tough as a big rainbow,, but one helluva tug on the 10.5ft rod and 6lb test line !

 

No special skills required either

 

I caught this one and two more same size on a # 10 hook and bread ball Kneeded up real tight on a weightless line.

I remembered the others here saying to let the carp take the bait and go with it for a bit before setting the hook.

GOOD ADVICE as i got a little excited on the first three hits I had. lol

 

Give it a try man,,, they are FUN !

Carp fishing is fun indeed, once you hook a big one it's addicting.

Congrats on your first carp... now you know why it's so much fun eh ...

Carp fishing on light equipment is awesome, its even better when you can spot them and watch them hit.

Nice fish!

Congrats...when nothing else is biting from shore, carp fits the fishing addiction that's for sure!! Great job on that bad boy!

took my daughter out tonight for a couple hours.

Had two on.. one wrapped me right around a log.. had to cut the line... as he wasn't moving back

second one ran straight under some brush on the opposite bank... got me all tangled up in them

 

How big were they? i

 

But i do know, my daughter wants her own pole now and she thinks this was "fun daddy".

when can we go again daddy ?

 

cool
