The CAG recored would be nice, and Im down the road from Ford lake, which has some BIG fish. But to be honest, as long as Im fishing I dont care... Its all for fun with me.

Ive been here for a whole week now, So I thought Its about time I paid me money and joined you guys.
Now I need to make my master plan for the MI record! you best look out Andy

Yeah Its great place but no money and no jobs, I used to work In a ladder making factory for 5 years before It moved up north, 300 of us out of work over night.
After a year out of work, I got a job In a slaughterhouse, killing lambs for tesco, 1500 aday, great money/crap job. Then came foot and mouth, and after a short spell working for the government (Killing the infected animals), that was me out of work again.
1 year latter, I was off to snowy Detroit, never looked back and never ate lamb again

I dont think I have ever had a fish run me out! , that must have been some fish you had. The cornish carp allways gave me 2 runs, the 2nd when they see the net!.
As for Devon being Gods country, well I dunno about that one... all ill say Is that there are two types of people in England.. The cornish and them who wish they were!

"Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish! Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycocks. This Carp, swallow you whole. No shakin', no tenderizin'. Down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant!"
"You go in the cage. Cage goes in the water. You go in the water. Carps's in the water. Our Carp!"

Mr fitzz,
Be forwarned. Every water in the US has 100 lb - 5 ft long carp. Just ask any local catfisherman, they'll tell you. One thing about angling in the US in general, it's OK to lie.

Yeah What I never told you was that I saw that carp and jumped in and got on his back, of course after all the years that carp was now 8ft and at a guess ill say around 1200lbs (give or take 20lbs) after aweek of fighting him and him dragging me to the bottom about 6 times, I had to let go because I was getting hungry and it was time for supper. But ill be back and me and that fish will meet again..........

The only place over here that I see other brits Is in the curry house, and maybe soon, out on a carp lake. any of you brits from Cornwall?. I was from Launceston Cornwall......

Its funny, I took my son for a walk by the Detroit river and I saw around 12 or so fishing, I talked to a hand full that told me there are carp but none fish for them, One guy told me that his dad hooked one that was over 5ft long!!
If it was England It would cost me to fish there, all the fishermen would be fishing for carp and I would be so many more of them..... Ah I love the US for your carp and Wendys bugers and dougtnuts!

So Im just getting back into fishing after 5 years and I guess my question is more for the guys who moved here from the UK.
What are the differences in fishing for carp over here in the USA then back in the UK. Or is a carp a carp no matter where he is in the world?.
