I went to SAIL today for the grand opening to check out the carp gear.So I was wearing my CAG t-shirt and two of Canada's fishing celebrities (Angalo Viola and Pete Bowman) of the Fish'n Canada Show called me over to talk about carp fishing.They just finnished filming an episode in the Hamilton Harbour and the Toronto Islands where they were fishing for carp and one guy with them caught a 40lber in Toronto.For my American friends,these guys are big fishermen up here and they travel across Canada catching giant sturgeon in British Columbia,Char above the arctic circle,huge pike in Sasatchewan,big bass,walleye and musky in Ontario and stripe bass and blue sharks in Nova Scotia.They've done carp shows before but this time they brought they're camera's to Hamilton.We talked for an hour and other pro bass anglers joined in on the conversation and all had a great carp story and they all agreed carp fishing is growing in Canada.They said it is the next great sport fish.That means alot coming from pro fishermen of they're caliber.It's nice to be recognized as a sport fish but on the other hand more people fishing for carp could make bank space hard to find.

i have repeatedly shared the secret about 40lb carp around the Toronto Islands and harbourfront with you....
i am happy that someone finally landed one and hopefully filmed it....
this is great for the promotion of the species as a "sport" or "game" fish to the residents of Ontario
with all the fishing prohibition crap in Toronto this is a positive...
carp anglers around the world will make Ontario a fishing destination for the species.... more so than they are now.
i am pretty sure 5olbs will be broke in Toronto harbour....but it will have to be by one of you on an outing.

And that looks like a male fish too. What a beast.

I spent a few minutes talking to Italo Labignam while there and he told about fishing for different barbs and carp while he was in India. Pretty cool.
