MuskyBill Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Dunno who these hooligans are, but one of these guys has GOT to be the King of Karp... Seriously, my vote goes to MJL.... Edited July 24, 2009 by MuskyBill
hammercarp Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 MJL has done some great posts . Very good photographs and narrative.
danc Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Now I'm all for Hammercarp, or MJL, or any other carp guru writing a delightfully dry article recycling all sorts of lovely information that's already been said in lot's of other articles.......hair rigs, boilies & method mix oh my! Or.....bear with me T.J......we go in another direction. What the angling world needs is a Hunter Thompson-esque figure to shake up the establishment and make them think. Make them think about carp! The psychedelic Cronzy of carp if you will. Hey, I've already laid the groundwork, flesh out This Post, add a sidekick..........hey I even have a title! Fight Of The Sausage Creature: Gonzo Carpin' .......When I came to, the general back-alley ambience of the swim was so rotten, so incredibly foul. How long had I been lying there? All these signs of violence. What had happened? There was evidence in this spot of excessive consumption of almost every type of bait known to civilized anglers since 1544 AD. What kind of gear addict would need all these pods, buzzers & crushed sunflower seeds? Would the presence of fish account for all these crumbs of chicken feed? Would rockbass leave these puddles of still damp fish slime? Maybe so. But then why all this bait? These were not the hoofprints of your average God-fearing angler gear junky. It was too savage. Too aggressive. Then like Moses parting the Red Sea the thought came to me in a flash......it was carp....only carp can lay down a shallow water smack down like this, no silly acrobatics on the surface like a smack addict doing the funky chicken. Nope, just BOOM! instant take off on the hook set. Some people will tell you that small is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you brotha that big is better. And carp are big. I've always believed this, in spite of the trouble it's caused me. Big strong fish will out pull small strong fish every day of the week. That is why God made carp, Bubba...... Heck there's even a tie-in to our straight to DVD movie effort: Fear & Loathing In Lakair, Adventures In Sheepshead Country! "What colour is the sky in your universe?"
wolfville Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 MJL led the folks from Canada to win the first CamAm cup carp tournament, that's something to make a good resume. Also his writing is pretty enjoyable and he is very knowledgeable in carp fishing. He may not outfish me most of the time but he got my vote.
CLofchik Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 "What colour is the sky in your universe?" I reject your reality and replace it with my own!
bassjnkie Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Danielm would get my vote, very knowledgible carp guy, along with Photoz and MJL. hehe, I got a vote, thanks Mike!. Unfortunately I have crappy writing skills. I still think MJL is the guy for the job.
Crazyhook Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks for the votes guys! Some really good carp fishermen on this site. TJ you have a PM
Rich Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 I don't think I'm a 'Carp King'...I'm more of a carp violator TJ, what did you have in mind? Ohh dude... I know you love carp.. but I didn't think you like... LOVED them!
Beans Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 There is another very knowledgable carper that joined our board fairly recently... Hairwig...(Mark) hasn't posted much so far but he is an all season carper including the winter...now that is dedication...
