Carp 2024

Finally got a day off where I didn’t have to do anything other than go carpin’.
Went 7 for 9 in 2 1/2 hours.
The last one was big. That net is 18x24”. First on of the morning snapped 30 lb braid. Had my drag set too tight. Lost another one later on.
My arms are tired.

This one came into my canoe last week while fishing for crappie & gills with an ultra light on 4 lb test. It took a while.
Have to get busy with the fly rod soon.

Long version
Brings back a memorable day in July in 1985 on the Saint Lawrence in Cape Vincent. It was a rainy and very windy day and i decided to leave the boat on the trailer. I sat on the old concrete dock at the boat launch fishing with an ultra light spinning rod with 4lb mono, small hook and a worm. I was catching lots of sun fish, and blue gills. I got the usual tap on the line and set the hook and off she went - burning drag. It was at least 10 minutes until that fat tail came out of the water and I finally knew what I was fighting. It was a BIG Carp. It kept making long runs and I got down to so little line left, I could see the base of the spool.
It was probably close to 1/2 hour until I got the fish in. A teen aged boy climbed down on the rock and grabbed the carp and brought it up onto the dock. I weighed it - drum roll : just over 31lbs.
I let the fatso go and have never forgotten that amazing battle.

My buddy is pretty heavy into these carp fishing tournaments. I couldn’t believe all the “secret” baits and other pre baiting methods, etc.. that is involved. He caught a mirror carp at his last tournament. He travels all over the country fishing them. The tournaments last days at a time.

Not yet. A couple mirror carp, but never a red or Buffalo.
It’s like any other specie specific fishing. One can throw a lot of time and money at it.

I fished a small lake in upstate ny that had a bunch of Goldfish in it. I only managed to get a couple of them to bite. Never saw Goldfish that big = about 2 pounds and 15"
Anyone ever see those
