    Posted · Edited by accordbw

    I will be helping out with The Carp of the Month this year. I will post the rules in this competition for all to see. We plan to have the contest on Big Carp Tackle's Facebook page. For anyone who does not use Facebook I will copy your photo from here over to Facebook so you can still take part. Please still continue to post your catches here also so CAG members can enjoy the photos of your awesome catches. Good luck to everyone! Brian

    Also please take the time to thank Big Carp Tackle for the generous prize every month.

    Quality photo of the Angler holding the fish (As this is a most important) with proper carp care used.
    Anglers are encouraged to share the contest and their photos from the contest. Likes & Shares may increase your chances but final word is up to the judges.

    A short paragraph giving details/tactics when you submit your photo to the Big Carp Tackle Facebook Page . At the end of the month photos will be judged from the panel of judges and the award given.

    Judges decision is final. Any submission that seems strange or the angler has a past history of questionable entries will most likely be overlooked by the panel of judges which are selected Big Carp News Contributors & CAG BOD Members. Pictures posted on Big Carp Tackle FB original contest post are the only ones eligible for entries. Quality photo of the Angler holding the fish (As this is a most important) with a date/time stamp of capture date. If no date stamp is on the photo then the angler will have to provide the original photo so the original photo date can be verified.

    Nicely done, Brian. Yup, keep them coming, this is great quality material. And you'll see, on YouTube, success breeds success, and the # of views will keep increasing for years and years to come...

    Thank you Jerome! One thing I have noticed is a huge amount of new anglers from the US getting interested in the sport. As the channel grows it seems more and more anglers are appreciating how fun carp fishing can be.

    Reeling in a carp?

    One thing to mention is once you net the fish let them rest for a minute in the water before taking them out to photo. Think of it this way if you run a race and are out of breathe and someone dunks your head underwater will you be able to hold your breath the same? No, When you play a fish and net them the fish is tired, if you give them a small rest they will swim off a ton better then if you hurry up and take them out of the water after a battle.

    Brian, There is no denying it. When i first started carp fishing, I think i watched All of your videos in one week. Very informative and easy to watch. ( not loud and in your face stuff). Great Job. I really appreciate how you always quickly respond to any questions I ask you. Thanks Keep up the good work.

    Todd, Glad my videos could be of help to you. I try to be laid back like I am in real life. I was never much for the loud and in your face stuff. I always felt if you show how to do something and it is effective anglers will try it out if they want to. I try to offer a lot of variety on the channel so there is no one way to do or learn something. In the end I hope the angler can find something they like and then they can form their own style of carp fishing. I always try to respond. Lately I have been getting a ton of questions so I am about a month behind on them but I will answer at some point even though it may take a little bit to do. Thanks again

    There are only a few reasons that you had so many views on your videos. They are interesting, informative & well presented! I have learned a lot from them & I'm sure many others have too. CONGRATS!

    Thank you so much for the kind words! I always go into a video like the person has never fished before so every single detail is explained and makes sense. Lots more to come!
