I bet he snagged it with that rapala lure.

 

Or that carp isn't afraid of anything and attacks aggressively....

[Roy]

51 pounds eh?

[Leecher]

Amazing..... 25 minute fight

Congrats to the young angler

[Terry]

this 14 year old is 6 ' 8" 220 lbs ?

Where did you find those stats? lol

[Terry]

well I thought the fish looked like a real small 51lbs

 

so I figured it looked small because the 14 year old kid was real big making the fish look small.......

 

I mean it's written in a newspaper that it's 51 lbs so it must be........

hahaha because media is full of facts right?

[jediangler]

He must be a giant kid cause that fish doesn't look 30lbs let alone 51lbs.

[12 Volt Man]

exactly. to me, it looks 25 pounds at best. big fish, but not 51 pounds. I have caught legit 30 pounders (out of Lake Ontario) and they loo notably bigger than the fish in the pic..

Relax guys, the kid doesn't post here, the article is from a paper that is 2 time zones away from most of us and in another country. The world is still safe.

What I was really hoping to see was the 50 lb laker his Carp beat out

[Terry]

I don't think anyone was getting wound up about it

 

and I don't see the problem with stating our opinion

 

so relax no one was gathering with pitchforks to run him out of town

Stating opinions, which is what was clearly done in the news paper. I wonder if anyone checked it for lead weights in the belly. And why has no one commented on the carp hitting a rapala dive-to lure? Did they actually take it to an official scale and more than one person verify it?

 

Sounds like a fishing story that made the local paper if you ask me.

[kickingfrog]

Tilt away then. The Tour de France is in Holland right now as well. Say "hi".

[12 Volt Man]

And why has no one commented on the carp hitting a rapala dive-to lure?

 

because it happens occasionally.

 

I have been fishing at Bronte with a friend of mine who caught and landed a big carp that ate his rattlin rapala like popcorn. right in the side of the mouth.

 

I have caught and landed them on a normal jig with a mr. twister tail on the back, same thing.

 

sometimes, they do chase down and eat lures and jigs.

 

just not very often.

I netted a rainbow off a Lake O pier this morning that would be about the size of that fish......... (yes they are in shallow...)

probably a ploy to get people to come to Colorado to fish...i always thought the camera was supposed to add 10 pounds....not remove 35....looks about 16 at best ....oh i just thought of it ...its a typo and it was 15 not 51

[BillM]

If I'm going to Colorado, I'm definitely not fishing for those over sized goldfish!!

Never caught a grass carp, but carp on lures, and not snagged. A few of them longer than the yard stick I kept in the boat by a good deal. Never guessed at any of mine over 35. Possibly? but it doesn`t look that big in the pic.

[Rick2]

25 lbs. of fish 26 lbs. of imagination.

[danbouck]

More like 6 lbs of fish and 45 lbs of imagination!

[Roy]

This is Donald Walker's 50 pound laker from Colorado.

[Terry]

so I stand corrected and I should not have said anything

I am sure everyone agrees that that carp looks bigger then that trout

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOL:sarcasm:

Just a parentheses here...as I posted the pic of the 50 pound lake trout it occurred to me that that fish could possibly be a triploid. I know that many states are heavily involved in triploid production in order to boost the economics of the fishing industry. Washington State is a leader in this. So, for those of you who know about these things, would the laker pictured above fit the description?
