4th trips a charm, Carp

Well it's been a tough spring of fishing for me. The trout fishing was mostly a bust. I had one good day of perch fishing out of way to many. Decided to change up to carp. Fishing pattern continued. 3 trips and nothing. I only seen two fish splash around in those trips. My friends say its not about catching fish but the "camaraderie". Bah Humbug to that! I want a fish! Lol. Anyways, prayers finally answered today. 5.5 hrs of fishing later and the pack up countdown down to 10mins my fishing rod bends over. Landed my PB carp. I forgot my scale but based on previous catches I'd say she was mid twenties.
Now the porn.

Looks like it paid off !! Congrats

Nice carp

In my experience they don’t come easy this early when the water is cold, well done

Beauty fish and a great day to be out there. Congratulations

Nice tank and picture...

Looks like a great day to be out fishing

Carp are harder to catch than most people think, lots of patience and finesse.

Well done.

Nice catch, your persistence paid off

nice one, you inspired me to go after them today

Nice work!

Thnx guys. Carping should be better in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed.

Good luck Shank.

thanks, I hit some first time out yesterday
