    2 Record Carp From The Usa From July

    Come on guys, give Tony Davies Patrick (TDP) a break....I know he's a bit of a specimen himself :lol: but he makes highly entertaining carp fishing films. I would really like to see his latest film which looks like his best one yet:

    I own this latest TDP video. Yes, It is another stunning example of his craft. Strongly recommended!

    'But who would have thought such record breaking carp would have come out of MN and ID? Don't get me wrong, record carp are in places like NY and TX but they are also in PA, DC, VA, MD, and many parts of the east coast and up in MN, Wisconsin (don't know the acrynomom for this state :lol: ), MI, and many others.'

    Coincidentally, last evening I had a conversation with a catfisher on a new NC lake we are exploring - we got onto big carp potential for this lake and he mentioned he used to live & bowhunt in Indiana --- " and they used to shoot 40 and 50 Lb females on a lake where there was an excess of carp".

    I don't know the lake, have no reason to think he was not telling the truth.

    @ Baustin - I feel your pain. Hate those guys and their nightime generator and light enabled killing agendas. Ours also focus on hitting the biggest fish and they are too darned effective, unfortunately. So no venues from me, ever, on this board and I always check the background for any picture I post..

    Pete and Barbel - agree with your thinking. Pete I am also aware of at least 2 x 50+ caught by non-CAG members in 2011 so far. Accepting some were caught with a lot of spawn in them, we are all aligned that these huge fish are out there, and probably exist in a lot more waters than we are aware of. A more surgical 'locate-and-catch' approach has to be taken, and I know that some will/are moving in this direction already.

    Good luck to all in the quest. !

    Thank you for this -- I suspect it is an annual story, and many Bowshot monsters never get onto those websites.

    I agree with you about the ultimate potential, but given the sheer size of many of the lakes that contain these fish, and the number of potential waters... think even Terry Hearn's wonderful watercraft skills might even be challenged here.

    I'd bet most if not all of the shot fish were from a boat -- and believe that we have to fish in a more mobile way to locate and have a chance to catch these huge fish in the US. Certainly, that's the approach some of us are trying to take here in NC

    However it's tough to hear of a Bowhunter at our local lake brag that he'd just shot at at '45/50' .He missed it this time, thankfully but I'd bet on him getting lucky long before we are able to 'wade though the 20's and 30s'.... to even catch a 40.

    Scott has to be the nearest US has to a credible huge carp hunter. I wish you all great luck, but do think we'll sadly see a lot more dead 60's before a rod caught CAG one..:bonk:
