And here's an early brace, probably weighing in at around one twentieth of the weight of my TL brace earlier this year.
My father runs a nursery back in Germany, and this early fishing was all done at a pool on the premises.
-
Alright, some old pictures... I have plenty of those
Here's me in my innocent youth with what likely was a PB at that time.
Notice that I've always been a fashionable fellow, with the color of my glasses matching the pink shirt (or the other way around, for that matter...)!

And for those of you who wonder where the he** Montrose is: Here a picture I have taken from Chicago's Hancock Tower. Montrose is right at the second horseshoe you see on that picture. But I'm sure you could catch decent carp anywhere along Chicago's shoreline - it's a great city (not only) for carp fishing...!!!
-
Yes Brian, too bad. Last year we were at least able to fit in a couple of hours at Montrose together.
At any rate, good luck and tight lines whereever you are!

Where are they hiding ... (this is actually just around the corner at Belmont harbor)
-
And these sweets are also clearly appreciated by this Montrose fishing mate ...

An arsenal of sweets at Montrose to tempt them ...

In the background the bottle neck they all have to come through...

It takes some heavy rain for Montrose to look as deserted as it does on this picture...

"And another 20..."

A fine specimen, caught in the heat of summer

After Jerome's great catch from Montrose Harbor (congratulations again!), I thought I'd pull out a few of my old pictures from that fine spot.
I have been fishing that place on and off since I started fishing in the US last year. After all, it's only 5min from my apartment, so it doesn't get much easier than that.

Very interesting, thanks for the perspective.
Choice of camera will obviously depend on your goal. If you want to make large prints, the resolution offered by digital cameras will likely not be sufficient.
On the other hand, one factor not be neglected is cost. While digital cameras seem expensive at first, their cost will amortize quickly. 30 rolls of Velvia? - That's got to be $500 for the rolls and developing. Assuming you have your computer gear already in order, digital will save you a lot of money very quickly. I know that you, Tony, may want to go for the best result possible, but for other people, the cost compromise would be an important factor to consider.
Also, with a digitial SLR one may be more inclined to experiment and end up with better shots just because you take more pictures. Just a side-thought...
At any rate, Tony, keep posting those pictures! Absolutely great stuff.

Greatest fishing pictures around!
Very interesting is also your photographic advice.
One quick question: Taking slide film seems cumbersome, particularly with the scanning involved. What do you think of the high-end digital cameras (e.g., Nikon D70)? You can use all the lenses and still have full control over exposure etc.
Thanks for your opinion!

Will poke around once more in South America for a month or so next January, mainly Southern Cone. I've been toying with this SA idea for a while, and a little pilot trip may be in order.
Payara, I've run into the same issue, there is very little readily available information on the subject.
Let's see, maybe a longer trip is in order later on...

Miguel - I was saying Nashbait! Monstercrap is RH...
I had them on Strawberry, if I remember correctly...
BTW, all sharks were tagged for scientific purposes and put back to where they belong, of course.

Heavy pumping...
Proud user of Nashbait, even for Shark in Africa:

Ok, so this is the "Other fish" forum and you guys were talking about sharks.
Here we go with some pictures from a fishing spree on Africa's Skeleton Coast:

Absolutely stunning pictures!
I think it's great that you keep posting them here - this is really inspiring.
Keep 'em coming...

That rocks!!! The picture with the jumping fish in it cracks me up.
Glad to hear you're having a good time traveling this summer.
Talk to you later,

My brother again, with the king. Clearly the same strain as #3. A terrific fish.
-
And finally, #4 of 4, the king. An incredible fish, a true old elusive specimen.
-
Same fish, same angler, different occasion.

This is #3 of 4, here caught by my bro. Very different shape:
Your first carp picture...

Here are we waiting for a run in the rain...
I'm the one in the middle, my brother is on the left (his PB today is somewhere around 35lbs) and a friend on the left.
