One year ago today I landed my first 40lb carp and would never have thought I would top it exactly a year later, but I struck gold today. I landed my first 50lb carp at 53lb 12oz. She took an oats ball around 1:00 in the afternoon, went on a slow run, then sat right in front of me for about 15 minutes before I got her into the net. I knew it was a special fish when I first saw her and couldn't believe the size when I finally got her on the bank. I still can't believe it...dreams do come true!

HOLY SMOKE !!!! CONGRATS !!!! That's a FAT FAT FAT girl!!!!!
To Whom It May Concern:
I am a PAYING CAG member just like any other paying member in this club. Please don't pull that "BOD so you think this or that" on me.
I'm a CAG member FIRST (Webmaster 2nd and BOD member last) and that give me just as much right as YOU to speak my mind about ANYTHING club related.
So if you don't LIKE what I've got to say, don't use the age old lame "You think you can say what you want because you're on the BOD".
I say what I want because I'm "ME", I say what I want because it's my right as an AMERICAN CITIZEN to speak my mind FREELY.
If I don't agree with you, get over it and move on. My main function is to maintain everything CAG WEB Related, NOT to kiss your butt and agree with you, nor to say stuff just so I don't hurt your feelings.
So please keep in mind that if you choose to ask for an opinion or say something I don't agree with, I will speak my mind as a PAYING CAG MEMBER.

Where in Europe did you catch this fish? Oh wait, it was caught in... New Jersey? Very well worth the cover of any Euro carp magazine if you ask me! Absolutely amazing fish!
