Tony your 'windowdressing' comes much too late , you already showed us the true clothes of the emperor
You can type until you see blue in the face , is too late for that now.
-
Bob, both Bein and I had our reasons, and Bein kindly let me know exactly the type of person you are well before we met. So your recent posts about me were entirely expected...
Yes you make it so very clear now I don't think I have to explain any more, obviously the bullet you took in the head did more damage than you thought.
The only thing you have done so far is trying to put me down,and/or try to make it personal, you never answered anything,it's way above your station I know...so let it be me who puts a stop to it, and Bein was right , you are indeed a sick little man.

its a shame that Tony had to make it personal. Surprising too considering that his photo's aren't always entirely Kosher!
Well Kris I'm glad you mention that too,not that I was complaining about his photo's ,although the 'Wild water' topic showed exactly the same controversial pictures , but yes he uses Photoshop a lot too.
And a very sad moment indeed to see a 'crack' try to wiggle his way out, like an eel in a bucket. I see he just removed all his other pictures too, he's probably afraid we're going to comment on a few.
Well we made our point , he was indeed the one trying to make it personal. I arranged the publisher for his book as you might know and I should have known when he tried to sell me the book !! No joke , three times he asked me...until Bein (my friend the publisher) gave me a copy . The guy is so cheap he invites himself .
nov 3; I see TDP removed most of the attacks on me, but please read the topic and you can see for yourself what this was all about, removing mine too would result in a complete incoherent mess.

Hi Louis,
As you can see I have a no-eye carp too, mine didn't even have indentations. It's the St Lawrence too and I catch them now and again. Yours is quite dark indeed, I bet the water is very clear!?
-
Well Tony without answering any of the questions I think you gave the answers anyway.
And you are the one who made it personal.
Good luck with your Hollywood dreams

Maybe the example of a standard 50mm lens shot of this 31,4 kg, just under 70lbs carp clears it. The '62lb' is only 28 kg.
Joop is also holding the fish [the Dutch record btw!] in a normal way, now you can compare.

Al,
Thanks, that is exactly what I was trying to say, "perceptual deception". And funny you mention ,I have many photo's of carp that look much smaller than their actual size too ! Lastly I agree that we owe it to ourselves to do it right and give positive examples.
Size doesn't allways matter, see the picture...I can't begin to tell you how impressed my son was with that 'herring'

I see you are not going to answer any of the posed questions and instead now try to formulate a 'complaint' against me....bravo...the real politician ...I hardly ever mention the size of my carp , but please show me.
And sorry your not sponsored by Cash, why you put his company in the credit list of your book than?
I forgot how ‘independent’ you say you are , but independent thinking isn’t one of them ,right ?

Given Kevin Nash's or Gary Bayes reputations against your own, I think your are standing in sinking mud...
I’m sorry the thread is going this way, but I think it’s clear I’m not on a PR mission here Tony, so are we making this a pissing contest ? You avoid giving an opinion about ultra wide angle shots and deformed photo’s. As a professional photographer you know very well what I try to explain. BTW can you explain what you mean ;”anymore than the hoards of Kingcarp photos of carp that look nowhere near the stated weights”....I showed two random pictures of fish in the same class as the one the topic started about and even if they are smaller, isn’t that what this discussion is about..carp photo’s that look abnormal.
I don’t know any of the anglers in the pictures and also don’t know whether it was their own camera or someone elses which is totally beside the point. You should go into politics my friend.
Again you have first stated ,this was the ‘real thing’, later you state ;”Hope that we don't abuse them or their photos in the same way...”
So which is it?
Misleading ,yes big time ,as to how inexperienced anglers will view this. Scott was right on the money when he thought seeing 100-150 lb fish !! Exactly my point. And some of us said it’s obviously ‘shopped’ which you don’t deny either.
So for popularity , hey everyone knows you are sponsored by both and yes we all know Kevin Cashes reputation, that’s why ! You mention the Nash advert, yes those are very big fish indeed ,that’s why he paid so much for them. But still the way these photo’s are made with ultra wide angle lenses ‘prove’ my point. Plenty more examples too. Well everyone can have a shot at these fish in his French pay lake http://www.nashresorts.com/ ,as I’ve stated before in another topic about carp death and viruses , illegal transports and imports, buying carp from public waters and stock them in pay lakes, I strongly feel I have an obligation towards those who cannot speak for themselves and hey Tony losing ‘popularity’ is the very last thing I worry about . I am surprised about your attitude about it, but I guess the $$$ wins in the end .

at least I don't now have to let Scott know just how big my nuts are...
Well 'Tiny'
..I don’t know why you try to make this personal , I just inform the forum about what’s really going on. First you are quickly there to state it is the ‘genuine’ thing ! And now you ;”Hope that we don't abuse them or their photos in the same way... “ You can’t have it both ways !Is it because you use 24mm lenses all the time too? See your ‘wild water’ topic . And if the forum thinks these are ‘exceptions’ , they should take a look at the Nash Team catalogue...this is how some try to make a difference; ‘see mine is bigger !’ They make themselves utterly ridiculous. That’s my two cents.
The first photo is very clearly ‘Shopped’, against the black background the fingers have been ‘brushed out’, the ones I showed are shot with an ultra wide angle too , probably between 18 and 24 mm. Never said the fish are not real, just posed indecently to mislead the crowd.
And you're wrong about me ‘Tiny’, when I catch a 60/70 lbs...I won’t sell myself ! I fish the St Lawrence to stay away from things like this and advocate ‘fishing for fun’.
As to your quote, I think Scott knows.
Here's a photo of my personal best, St Lawrence too .

These guys probably have a very small ...... !!

Big Buffalo,
Some ego's are so big , they need ultra wide angle lenses ! Also Photoshop is a powerful tool to make your photo fit your needs.
Here's more examples of the same bull####.
-
I love the tan of this one.
-
Another one same type, all fall carp from deep water.
-
Really massive build fish.
-
Carpanglers love to disagree and ego's play up, but at the end of the day we can agree , the love for carp is stronger .
Here some clients friends with nice carp.

Deep water, fall 2003

Seaway, deep bodied....more than 35 ft deep swim.

Sure, and if you use only maize you will only catch on maize
I never said I didn't use boilies Bill, it not simply black and white ,you need to be flexible as an allround carper and I use and try out many different baits.
As I said before ,over or near the baiting area I like the pop-up. Let's not split hairs again about the same thing ,you know bloody well what I try to point out, it's not about penis envy !![i got a bigger one ] We do this for fun , although some claim to only catch big or bigger sized carp , to please a sponsor people say the darnest things , and no.. let's not go into that . Let's enjoy the enormous stretches of virgin water for virgin carp....lean fighting machines, light coloured fish ,very dark coloured ones, some deep bodied very dark coloured fish , and even a 20 lb can be more than a handfull. The pleasure of being able to catch a lot if you desire so...most of you will not be able to appreciate the problems carpanglers already created in Europe....let's not go there either. For the recreational angler a few pales with corn ,or and other particles will do....the boilie can be the cherry on the cake.
Not every day you will catch 30lb carp, and maybe better too ,you could get spoilt easily....I know plenty of Europeans who fished more than 20 years and never caught a 30 pounder.
It's a lot harder , for me, to make a boilie in Canada ,than at home in Holland..mostly the trouble to get all ingredients and the time to roll...but bring me 100kg of boilies or more and it will ,ake a difference , ...but a 100 lb bag of maize will cost less than $10,-, so lets be realistic towards the recreational guy. To finish , with a very well known statement; when asked about the meaning of his 50/50 boiliemix , Bob Baker [Richworth] said ; 50% chance you catch, 50% chance you don't !!
BTW pictures....I think I already showed you a ####load ....use the search....also in 'NOT TOWN LAKE' carp I posted several, but here are a few more also a few clients with carp.
-
I have no interest in any boiliecompany and I'm not sponsored either .
From Bill I can believe you catch more with boilies, but haven't you showed us how you also bait-up heavily with boilies [didn't you mention 25 kg !?] And as I said before if you use only boilies , you will indeed only catch with boilies. If you can bait-up enough , than I agree you can make a difference . Again I try to give advice for the visitors of CAG , the ones that need advice ,who I don't think want to spent that much,IMO the average angler will buy a bag of confidence flavoured to the latest trend and use an additional stringer or a handfull of free offerings. To fish the known places , frequently fished before...I agree you can really make a difference...but those type of waters are only a few... The inexperienced angler will conclude he needs a boilie , and that is exactly wrong IMO.
You can disagree but I like to clear this for the rest, Bill and Tony can take care of themselves.

There is no doubt that huge amounts of maize will pull in large numbers of carp, and there is no doubt that you can catch large carp on maize (but if asked what I think is the very best bait on the river to catch BIG carp consistantly....then I would have to answer "boilies". There is now no doubt in my mind, that when faced with a large stretch of virgin water containing large numbers of small-medium-sized carp, with a lower number of large carp, then fishing with large rock-hard boilies will produce a higher average of larger sized carp.
Sorry Tony I don't agree....I answered for the average American carp anglers, they really don't need boilies. Furthermore for anglers with the experience like you and me Tony its a different game. We know the river and our streches well and by that expierence you may offer your snowman rig with a good rate of return so to speak, this is NOT the case for the recreational angler going to spent time and energy in a , for them ,strange river. If they would offer their freebies I guarantee you most will not be happy ...its comparing apples and pears. Again the known stretches where you're countrymen gather is a different thing ....since more than 10 years the carp are being fed , so also there you have a good chance with an intant boilie. Those stretches are not virginlike !
BTW for the stretches of river we fish , a 100 lb maize is absolutely not a huge amount of maize !!
I can show you many places where the carp will totally ignore any instant bait ! There's plenty of natural food and they will not swim one yard for your boilie. Again you and me would probably be able to catch a nice fish stalking , but for the average guy this is a very tall order. We learned fishing with a 10 ft pole ,a float, a 2 lb line and a size 18 hook...I think everyone should start mastering this before attempting to stalk..but this is not the subject now. Boilies made it easy for anyone to catch a carp.
Also baiting up heavily requires a strategy in order to catch better fish, a boilie could do the trick . If you only use boilies , undoubtedly you're going to catch big ones too , but you cannot exclude the small ones ! The same 'truth' is in nightfishing...in Europe most will tell you big carp will feed at night, again if you only fish the night ...than you will only catch them at night ....I hope this does not get lost in the translation .

Range cubes !!! I happen to have 2 50 pound sacks of cubes in the van in preparation for my trip to waddington tomorrow. Fifty pounds goes into the pile and 50 into brandy creek . A sore back from lugging in the bait and a sore back from lugging in the HUGE carp ( i hope ) Thanks for the info.
P.S.
I also have 4 five gallon pails of maize.
Hi Carpist,
I saw in another posting you went to Larry and blanked ?? Try not to do what the others do [ is monkey see, monkey do anyway]...and bring a lot of bait....don't waiste your time in the shallows this time of the year, you want to attract a LOT of carp . As I target virgin carp I don't want to waste my time dangling one boilie in the drink ! So if I were you I dumped a 100 lb bag of maize , in one go ! I bait up before I go fishing , so when you arrive find yourself a promising hole , and dump the whole 100lb [soaked] ! There's a lot of carp in the river and a half decent school will do a lot of damage to your bait , trust me !
I know about the back problems but its worth while , on avarage I use about a ton of maize in 4 weeks...that's for me and a client. For those who think I overdo it....many times after dumping a full 100lb load in the evening ...I found ALL to be gone in the morning.
Maybe you can find this swim easier.
Succes BOB

Kris,
Thanks for trying , but it will not help, he will have the last word , if it's only that.
For everyone taking the trouble to read the postings it will be clear enough, a sad day for all...I'm really not proud of this charade and sincerely apologize for the 'garbage', I only hope the independent reader can see I wasn't even adressing Tony until he made it personal in an attempt to cover the real issue, but he got what he was begging for.
