Since Audemp stared up a thread on flathead photos, I thought I make one for carp photos (and since there’s not a dedicated carp board). So, let’s see them…rod & reel, bow & arrow, spear…show ’em all!!!

2007 Carp Photos

The spawn hasn’t hit full-force on our lake yet, but I managed to hit a few yesterday. I only managed to get one in the boat, though (I’ll have to try a different tip next time). Lots of fun, and I am still amazed at the size of carp we have. This one is very average for what I saw/shot yesterday. Sorry, I didn’t measure or weigh it. She’s holding a little extra baby weight, as you can tell
May 20, 2007 at 7:43 pm #572953Was that on rod and reel? what did she weigh?
Marc
May 20, 2007 at 7:47 pm #572956Bow and arrow. Didn’t weigh it.
May 20, 2007 at 8:26 pm #572970Very nice Ralph..a few friend and I went out yesterday with the bow for the first time this year…The water was very dirty where we were and there was walleye tourney on the lake so it was hard to see em…we got several shots but nothing in the boat…They seemed to be pretty deep yet and nothing in the reeds where they usually are…thanks for sharin the photo…Jay

Yup. I thought the same thing.

My big boys (or should I say girls) come from a lake near New London, MN.

Is that on the Horseshoe chain?
P.S. Ryan, look out for that bear behind you in the picture!!!!

I can’t bring myself to lick a carp. Maybe after a bunch of beers, but I doubt it

Not the Horseshoe Chain.
That bear appeared at the cabin last fall and it still freaks me out in the morning sometimes. Not that it’s big, but you think it’s some type of animal scrounging around the yard
May 25, 2007 at 12:58 pm #574886I finally went out after carp with my fly rod and it only took 10 minutes to hook my first one but it popped off after a short battle. The very next drift I hooked into this one and castandblast landed it for me after a nice fight.
It is my fav pic because it is on a fly!
May 25, 2007 at 1:19 pm #574898Very cool, Aaron! I don’t fly fish, but I think taking one on a fly rod would be neat!
May 25, 2007 at 3:13 pm #574967Did you blur the background to protect your favorite carp spot?

Hey, man. Really choice carp water is tough to come by. I’d never reveal my spot.
May 25, 2007 at 5:57 pm #575022I was going to make fun of that too, but I then thought, if you would do it for a spot you caught any other fish, why wouldn’t you do it for a good carping hole? Given a choice, I’d reveal a walleye spot before I’d reveal a good carp spot.

Amen.
May 26, 2007 at 3:05 am #575115Stingler with a nice Honk Horn fish!
May 26, 2007 at 3:07 am #575117another horn honker!
May 26, 2007 at 3:24 am #575119Nice hump on that one!
May 26, 2007 at 3:47 am #575123When A guy advertises where he catches a fish then it is more likely to be fished by others. Sometimes it is hard to find these spots and If you look close at my pics almost every fishing pic has been altered if it is obvious where I am. I work hard for my spots and do not want to give them away. When people find out that I fish they always ask how big my biggest walleye is…..I respond that I do not go after those bottom feeders.
I am proud to say I mostly fish for roughfish. But I do fish for anything!May 26, 2007 at 4:38 am #575130Hey guys! I say you up there fishing tonight. I was the guy up on the pier with the Blue glow rod. I’ll have to stop and say hi sometime.
May 26, 2007 at 10:35 pm #575251It always seems like castandblast and I will go out and I will catch a fish in proportion to the fish he catches….
Mike I hope you miss this!
But this pic was a couple days before my carp on a fly same honey hole and yes I will tell you where the walleye or bass are hitting but not the carp, sturgeon, cats, red horse ect.
Happy fishing O4F
June 4, 2007 at 2:36 am #577558Where are the koi pics I expected to see? Thought I saw one that was arrowed on a different board or under a different topic. Let’s get that one in here!

Here you go!
June 4, 2007 at 1:17 pm #577609Was that thing really that bright of an orange or was it enhanced (PhotoShopped), the camera or the lighting?

Nope, that photo is untouched. It was really orange.
