mike rousseau Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) thought you carp guys would like to see this beast of a carp caught by an angler i know... Edited November 20, 2011 by Musky Mike
Beans Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 WOW !!! My arm aches just thinking about catching it...
Victor Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 holy cow that is a beast!! I can only keep dreaming ...
crappieperchhunter Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 I can't believe he released it. Think of the nice grain fed steaks you could get off of that beast Without weighing them I'm pretty sure I have been lucky enough to get some over 30...but a 40 ...WOW that would be fun.
mike rousseau Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Posted November 20, 2011 I haven't got a 40 yet... 36lb 12oz And 36lb 8oz Are my biggest so far...
lhousesoccer Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) I don't know. I don't believe it's an ounce over 39.75-lbs. Edited November 20, 2011 by vtbass
J-M Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 What a beast! Healthy looking fish, looks like he's been actively gorging
Ron Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 A new Ontario record that is! Existing record is 39.88 lbs Nice!
MJL Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Very nice fish. Paul definitely is doing great out there. A new Ontario record that is! Existing record is 39.88 lbs Nice! The record has been shattered a many times (unofficially of course). You'll be hard pressed to find dedicated carpers willing to kill a fish for the records. A friend of mine landed a 56lber on the St. Lawrence which won him a weeks stay at a motel that caters to carpers. Edited November 20, 2011 by MJL
mercman Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 What a pig of a fish that is The guy musta had serious cramps in his arms after that one
limeyangler Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 That's obscene...disgusting...disturbing and AWESOME! Great fish your buddy got there Mike. PM sent btw.
mike rousseau Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Posted November 21, 2011 A new Ontario record that is! Existing record is 39.88 lbs Nice! yeah... the record is broken every year ron... just carpers are very protective of their fish.. this is the second 40+lb fish between the group of guy i know that fish carp... most years a fish pushing 50lbs gets caught in my area...
frozen-fire Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 HOLY CARP!!!! I'm still waiting to break 30! What a magnificent fish... love the underwater release footage as well.
