kemper Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I hate carp. Carp are the scum of the lake, dirty, smelly, slimy over grown goldfish. They waste my time and cost me lures when they get in the way of my bass/pike hooks. They get my hopes up when jigging and suddenly feeling that weight. Worst of all, when landed they slime up EVERYTHING. I had sworn I would never fish for carp. ever. Well today I lost a bet to myself, as the girlfriend and I were fishing at a local pike haunt and she spotted about 50 carp sunning themselves. "Baby catch one!" "No, I hate carp" "Just plllllllleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaassssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee" OK fine, but they wont bite... Three minutes later this face only a mother could love poked out of the water at me. "OK smartarss, you wanted this big ugly thing you take the rod." So then I singlehandedly risked my life walking on a very sketchy log out into the water to grab the slimiest goldfish I have ever seen, just because she wanted a picture and that is the kind of guy I am. I feel like I have lost all self respect today, for I went carp fishing. Ill check in later, this slime is going to take a while to get off...

dsn Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 You're the second couple I see just getting into carp fishing. I noticed it always the girlfriend who is always asking to get int carp fishing. I'd say they know a great sport fish when they see see it. Hats off to girlfriends. Now you'll be carping you'll see.

Victor Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) I hate carp. Carp are the scum of the lake, dirty, smelly, slimy over grown goldfish. They waste my time and cost me lures when they get in the way of my bass/pike hooks. You know what Kemper, I considered you to be a friend. After reading that ... ... ... ... lol i'm joking. Great job in hooking into them though ... I have no idea why but everytime I try hard to fish specifically for them, they don't seem to bite (just like the last time you saw me). It isn't that easy to entice them to hit a grub ... haha don't worry about the slime, now go get yourself a biggun on the other end of the line!

splashhopper Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) i know allllll about the SMELL, Kemper... the first day i aughta couple of carp, i left my net in my van overnight, BIG MISTAKE ! Now i leave it on the roof racks overnight to "air it out" and hope it rains! lol BTW.. my daughter LOVES carp fishing and doesn't see the big deal in catching "those little bass and trout" that i like to go after. She is 10 yrs old and "this is the FIRST fish she EVER caught" (30lbs) .... Gotta keep our girls happy Kemper.. Good luck.

kemper Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 after two showers I feel as if the slime may be gone. but okay, in all honestly the fish did put up a great battle, albeit a somewhat lame one. I just dont get it, I find other fish...ANY other fish to be much more amusing to catch. This is the second one on a grub at that spot this year, the last one was pushing 30 pounds so this one was just a little guy. on the bright side, it kept the girl REALLY amused for about 20 minutes, so thats a plus...

Victor Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Sorry bud... all in good fun! haha we should get out sometime soon, kawarthas? Would love to do that man, it's quite hard to find time this summer though ... lots to do around the house, lots of water to fish, too many species to go after and too little time... but if i do have a weekend that's free I'll be sure to let you know. If I do get the access to a car this fall, I can drive over to guelph and fish with ya, going back to school at Waterloo in Sept. Or if you do have a car, you can come over to the grand.

ketchenany Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Kemper, just wait until the "Honey Do" list starts coming around! Carp will look like heaven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 LOL...great write up Kemper. They aren't the prettiest fish, but hey, they are fish. See what she's done already? First she pushes her way into the solitude of your fishing. Now she's telling you what fish to catch. If you're lucky, she'll start looking at boats and picking one out....
