Pictures of a Beauty

I hit this beauty while pre-fishing for a Carp Tournament a few weeks ago. Took me about 15 minutes to get into the net. She went 17-10. I let her go to be caught again another day. It would have put me well into the money if I would have caught it the following day. Oh well, that's fishing.

Nice fish! Any idea on the length?

Tyler, that has got to be the biggest carp I've ever seen caught! WOW! Congrats.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Sweet fish!

[Tyler Holm]

Thanks guys,

Didn't meausure it for length. Just threw it on the digi scale. I can't even give you an estimate on length.

TH,

Beautiful fish. I'm quite jealous, but did catch my first mirrored last weekend. Order anything from Wacker yet?

Tyler, where was that tournament, any more this year?

[MURPHFISHER]

Wow!! Nice catch. I think I need to get out and fish with you soon.

sightfisher,

The tourney is back in South Dakota. They hold 1 a year at the lake I grew up on. This was is near Aberdeen. There is another in Brookings (that I want to fish next year for sure). I've yet to hear of any in MN. Let me know if you know of some.

Here is my post in the SD Forum for the tourney.

Murph,

Lets hit the waters soon. I'm game as always.

can you provide some details on bait, presentation, depth, etc. I find myself as a 1 trick carp pony as the only time i can catch them is in 1 spot during 1 time of the year (spring)

nice pics!

sightfisher, No purchases from Wacker yet. I've had my fill of carp for a while. Fall fishing opens doors to other species.

catman, I can tell you that is baby came in 10 FOW on a hard mud bottom. Corn on a #4 hook. 14# test mono on my rod and 10# test mono on my 5' leader.

Its really no secret. I work a pretty detailed article here.
