[Fishing with young Matthew Bramley]

Great story and congrats to young Matthew. I sense some Ol' Cap influence in your writing!

[Went to Cammack!!!!]

Great stuff, love the big shoulders on those carp!

[The one I got a picture of]

Nice fish!

Your "pose" looks just fine to me.

[The Captain Captures a Twenty!!!!]

Couldn't happen to a more deserving fellow.

+1000

Outstanding capture Cap!!

[Double trouble doubled!]

Two doubles on video...priceless.

Great vid!

[smallmouth fishing in oregon]

Outstanding smallmouth sir! I love smallies, probably my favorite "game fish" species.

[Killing carp?]

This is a good thread. I've been lucky enough to never have anyone show hostility when they find out what I'm after. On the contrary, it seems most of the people here in Texas seem genuinely interested in all the strange gear and alarms and stuff, and many times they'll hang out with you on the bank for a while and just watch and chat. I have gotten a few strange looks when they ask what I'm fishing for, but I've never encountered any open negativity.

[New spot on a new river!!!!]

Nice fish fellas, it's always fun to try new spots.

And that is one beastly grasser, congrats!

[Took the boys fishing all weekend.]

Awesome stuff Rick and big congrats to the kids!

[big bird is heading north!!]

Give em hell sir!

[Not too Shabby]

Very cool, nice fish!

And I agree, a bass just looks weird held Euro-style.

[back to back 30s]

Now that is an awesome report, love seeing anglers converted to the dark side by catching big fish.

Well done!

[Some summer updates and a couple of rods that I am really enjoying]

Interesting stuff. I would like to get into fly fishing at some point, would love to go out with you sometime, although a little birdie told me that if I learn fly casting from you, I could be in for some bad habits to break in the future.

Good luck getting that koi and on your buff quest! Also, is this the koi I think it is...from that pond?

[It's Party Time!!]

Happy birthday to the UC, hope you get all the doggie biscuits and carp slime you can handle.

[New pb 35 lb]

That's a beast, congrats!

[Turtles and avoiding them!]

I don't know what a signal crayfish is but I used to catch huge crayfish back in Illinois all the time on dough bait. That particular pond didn't have any turtles, but the crayfish and the shad made up for them.

[Carp Run Videos]

Good God man, that run was epic!

And that fish looked the part too, long lean fightin machine.

[A weird looking carp]

I've caught more brokeback carp this year already than my entire carping life put together. I always have a tough time holding them, what with the weird shape and me feeling like I'm gonna break them.

[The Georgia Crew welcomes.......]

Great report and I love the LSCB shirt Dale.

And heckuva nice mirror Joe, WTG!

Never thought I'd see someone even bigger than Mr. Strickland...

[Carp Run Videos]

These videos are freaking awesome, makes me want to go fishing right now!

[Quick trip to Ford]

Love the videos Kev, and your editing skills are superb, keep em coming!

[new pb grass!!!!]

Holy cow, now that's a pig!

Congrats

[New PB.............]

Back in my bass fishing days on the Mississippi River in Illinois we would run into enormous clouds of these things in the late spring. Very painful and messy going through those things at 40-50 miles an hour in a boat!

[WKORN Interviews...........]

Love it!

As others have said, it's always great to put a face to a name. And I expect a full scientific report on the mysterious Plug soon.

[My first trip to carp Mecca]

Great writeup and awesome fishin to all!
