Cheeres !!!

If you see it that way. But I like to see it this way....there are those few people who become absolutely obsessed and in love with carp fishing that they devote their lives to catch something very special and pioneer the sport. Like the crazy mountain climber who responds to the question of, "why do you want to climb that insurmountable mountain?" with the response of: "Because it is there." lol
Only a few have the courage and passion to represent our sport this way and my favorite is Terry Hearn. We really couldn't ask for a better face/personality/talent to represent our sport. I hope to see a North American Terry Hearn one day. I will cheer for that man when he comes and buy his books just like I bought Terry Hearns books
PS - When the North American Terry Hearn comes, I believe that he will surpass Terry's big carp captures because NA just has too many big carp. You cannot compare the UK to North America. The UK is but a speck when compared to NA waters and the sheer number of big carp.
Very well said !!! Hats down !!!

Thanks guys !! Just wondering what was the biggest

When will people learn fish safety and care ??? This is nonsense seriously !!! People call them selfs "carp anglers" what kind of angler are you if you cant provide some basic fish care... Really getting upset at seeing all these posts with fish laying on the grass, gravel or whatever !!! Shame on you !!!

What is the biggest official dish caught by a carp angler ? Is it Mat's 53+ ? By official i mean certified scale, witnessed ? Not saying his fish is not the weight he says it is. Dont get me wrong !!! Just wondering if this is the official big fish or something els !!!

Here are few old and new pics from the past months... The fish weight between 15lb and 39lb which is a new pb grass carp for me.. I have decided to cut down the pack bait and strictly use boilies this year.. I have been using K-1 Tutty Fruity and Pineapple mix which is a concept and sweet corn flavored boilies.. Strictly baiting only boilies and using PVA sticks woth crushed boilies, sizes 12mm and 16mm soluble and hard boilies..
Enjoy...
The bait and baiting in action...
And some more fish !!!
The most beautiful thing of fishing... The nature and wilderness !!!

Well here I am again.. Monday night i was bored and with few days of free time i decided to go off in the woods and fish somewhere !! Looked the weather and boom, Wednesday and Thursday rain shower on and off, perfect timing for fishing... I got all packed up on Tuesday after work and took off at 6pm, i was at the swim around 12am
.. Now it came time to decided where i want to fish, closer to my car or farther out where i cant really charge my phone.. I decided on the close swim just cause I didn't feel like walking out with my gear.. Quickly I settled down, got everything together and took out the marker float, did some exploring of the bottom, drop offs, weed beds, and snags, unfortunately there was only weeds on the bottom, depth about 4-7 feet.. I quickly tied up new rigs and made some PVA sticks with crushed K-1 Pineapple soluble boilies and tigernuts. I goal was not to bait up and see if fish would move in on what i had in the water, one rig was with Pineapple Ice Cream Maize, and the other rod i had on a tigernut with night glow peace of corn. After casting out, the bivvy set up began... It didn't take me long enough to be all cozy and comfy in bed :) it was 4am and i was ready to crash out and hopefully to get waken up by a screamer !! It was a quite night i Woke up around 9am, first thing was for me to start making the bait and the spod mix... I baited up with K-1 Strawberry Squid Boilies Solubles and hard ones.. For a spod mix i used sweetcorn mixed with chopped up boilies.For Pack i used Oats with Cream Corn chopped boilies and K-1 Strawberry Ice Cream flavor. This is how it looked !!! 
Knowing there is weeds in the water I decided to play around with the rigs and change one of my set ups, using only two rods does not give you much options but I went off and put a chod rig with 16mm Pineapple Ice Cream Pop Up on... After baiting the swim with 20 balls of Pack, some boilies, and 10 spods of spod mix the waiting game began... It was about 2pm and i needed a nap, kind of rainy and cloudy perfect time for napping, well but I guess the fish didn't think this way. Around 2:30pm my hanger dropped down and it picked back up with a screaming run, quickly i got out from the bivvy to find a nice little 10lb mirror laying on my mat
!! Didn't take long enough after i got one more run with a BIGGER fish I would think around the high teens... Here are the photos take by my self.Both fish came on the 16mm Pineapple Pop Up Chod rig I had decided to put out !!
This quick action gave me 120% confidence in my spot and baits. I quickly got the rod out and put 3 balls of pack on each rod and about 20 free boilies spread around my hook bait.. It was around 4pm already and i decided to go back in my bivvy rain moved in and it was drizzling outside, perfect time for big fish... I laid down in my bivvy for a half a hour and watched my hangers. It was 4:35pm i know for a fact because i was just on my phone and had hanged up, when my left rod dropped back, by the time I ran out from the bivvy it was screaming and tearing my drag...when i lifted the rod this fish just stopped no movement at all... It felt heavy, no head shakes. I slowly started getting him in and not long after there was this nice looking mirror in my net. Sure it looked big and it was heavy.. Quickly I took out the scale and the weight sling. The scale stopped at 38lb 4oz NEW PB MIRROR !!! I was amazed.. Started taking pics with the self timer but there we go rain move in again i sacked the fish to do some more photos after the rain shower... Before I get further lets see the NEW PB Mirror taken on K-1 Pineapple Ice Cream Pop Up, on a chod rig lifted about a inch and a half from the bottom !!!
After sacking the fish for few minutes finally I had sometime to cast out my rod back out, I was on the phone with Istvan and Mihai during the whole time, the one thing they told me is stay on the fish, quickly i packed up a ball and put it out 70 yards out.. As I laid it on the rod pod i turned around to make few balls to bait up the swim since the fish were there, I heard a BEEP BEEP behind me as I looked my hanger was going up and down, I continued on making bait but the BEEPING continued for about a minute and all suddenly it started taking line out, but it was not a screamer, slow moving fish = bigger fish. I picked up the rod and boom this fish was on, it took some drag out and few head shakes but it was heavy, knowing that it could be a bigger fish than the one in the sack I did not put much pressure on the rod. About 10 minutes i had something unbelievable in my net
I look at it, and took a seat on the ground with my net and rod in hand.. My heart was pumping and i could feel the blood going faster throughout my vanes. Finally i calmed down got up and took my net apart to lift the fish, picking up the 38+ before this one it felt very heavy, but the second fish was a TANK !!! Again he took the 16mm Pop Up Pineapple Ice Cream. As I put him on the scale and had no tripod lifting the fish was very hard, my hands were shaking but the scale was bouncing between 46lb and 50lb.. Picked up the phone and called Istvan right away for a tip how to weight the fish, he told me to tie my scale with a rope to a branch, but who carries rope with them?!? At this time there was a local guy coming in to fish for bass and i had spoke to him earlier. He was kind enough to give me a peace of rope and witness the weight of the fish and take few photos of me. The scale topped at 47lb 2oz Mirror !!! NEW PBB !! WOW I just beat two new PB's in a hour !! Here are few pics with both of the fish !!! 47.2....
I was in Shock !!! " OMG what has just happened" I asked my self !!! After seeing that the chod rig does great in the weeds I quickly change my second rod to a chod as well ! It was a quite night with rain shower. In the morning around 6:30am I managed a nice 32+ to wake me up, it came on 16mm Squid and Octopus Pop Up !! After quick photos there he goes off back in the water. As usual I put out few balls of Pack and spread some boilies around. Around 11am I pulled out the spod and did 5 spods over the area i was fishing.. Made some Steak for lunch, and here it came time to sleep... As i went to take another nap around 2pm once again I thought of what happened the previous day. Closing my eyes was easy, but trying not to think about the new PB was hard
) !!! Falling asleep very light i heard my receiver go off, quickly got out from the bivvy and grabbed the rod, ill tell you it was a baby this time lol, every time I heard my alarm go i was thinking of the 50+ that was lurking in there. BUT, Around 4:30pm I had another run, not too long after I ended up with another big fish in the net, taken on 16mm Toffee Pop Up. This fish was a TANK... The scale topped at 42lb 1oz !! 
Had another one at 29+ and the night was quite. In the morning as usual i picked up one more beauty at the high teens.. It was great time but I had to pack up after a 3 night session
!! Managed one more before i left as well in the High Teens... It was a Great Great trip with less action but quality fish, relaxing and drinking beers by my self or with buddies over the phone !!! 29+ to end this EPIC SESSION !!!

I wont get much in details to what happened the two days before I got there cause I'm not really sure
))... The swim was baited up with K-1 Concept Boilies, Strawberry Squid, and Strawberry Oats Pack Bait !!! Here I am at work with finally some free time to write about my trip this past week !! This trip was kind of planed but plans went wrong and than it all happened out of the blue.. Some of the K-1 Team members, Mihai, Bogdan, Christine, Tony, Pawel, and Jason were planing a trip to Tennessee I was invited too but with work i couldn't make it. On April 17th, Tuesday morning when i woke up first thing before i even opened my eyes was to check my phone, K-1 Baits Facebook page and see if there was anything over the night, well there was a picture of Mihai's fish in a sack. I texted Jason since most of the people had no service and not long after i got the reply that it was a big fish... As the day went by i was at work kind of frustrated that I'm not there to share the moments, bank space and good time with the crew
... I finally called Jason to see how they managed the pictures and release of the fish, told him how much I wish I was there, It was his Bday as well and I was going crazy, fishing was slow but who cares about fishing when there a good company next to you !! Well it didn't take me long to finish work at 6 and by that time i already made up my mind I WAS GOING TO TENNESSEE !!! I rushed back home packed up some food, sleeping bag, clothes and left, not to forget I stopped at the liquor store to grab a bottle for us. I was on the road by 7pm Eastern time, my gps showed me 846 Miles 14 hours drive, well ill tell you one thing these 14 hours were the fastest ever in my life, with being up at work all day i drove to TN with only three quick stops for gas, man was it raining, the weather hit me in West Virginia and it didn't stop till TN ;(( well I made it there for 12 And a Half hours !! Was it great to be there, I had blood and energy pumping thru my body, very excited to be there and see everyone. Even tho fishing was slow i did not rush to put my rods out, we took the boat out and my decision was that I would fish one rod out far about 300+ yards since fishing was slow in front of us, me and Bogdan took out my line while Pawel held my rod from shore, didn't bait up much, just put out two hand full's of K-1 Baits Concept Strawberry Squid boilies... My other rod was close to shore where the baited up area was, i found where the weed line was and fished right on it.. After doing all this we took a trip to a different swim to see Dave Moore, Rod, and Tim, very very cool guys.. By the time we got back it was 1pm and I wasn't tired knowing i was up for 30+ hours lol.. Me and Bogdan took a bass rod and went off in search of some small mouths but with no luck, Jack who was Jason's dog followed us on shore and we were afraid he would get lost in the woods so we picked him up and took him on the boat, but he decided to show us how good of a swimmer he is and jumped off lol.. He made it back to shored safe ) !! At around 4pm i went in for a little nap to get woken up by Bogdan at around 8pm for dinner and party time, it did take him quite a few minutes to wake me up and get me up from my bed. Mihai had already prepared a great Stew for dinner and i was getting ready to put some pork chops on the grill.. The food was great i was mad that i even missed the first 3 night just for the food that was being cooked every night ( !! We had a nice meal and aaa long night of drinking, talking and messing around with each others alarms 
Well i might of had a little run the first time, but the second time man it was a screamer and i ran 100 yards to find out it was Bogdan messing with me !! I did get him back i was not going to let it go lol ! We went to bed at around 4:30 am i would say for my self in a pretty good mood but deff not able to play a fish if I had a run . In the am i got up to use the bathroom and ended up with a 34lb new PB Fully Scaled Mirror on a K-1 Toffee Pop Up,ohh boy was it pretty .. After all the picture taking the fish went off back in the water and i was happy out of my mind... The day was very wind 20+ mile gusts of wind were hitting us, But Bogdan still managed a 31lb rare Common from this place ). It came time for everyone to go, me and Jason decided to stick till Friday knowing how much bait was in the water hoping for someone to break one more PB ). There was a big storm coming, winds were suppose to die out, but only picked up even more in the night, waking up to a blown and broken bivvy in the morning i was not in a good mood, soaked and wet I didn't even pack my gear the right way threw most of it in the car and hit the road by 7am with no other fish being landed thru out the night ( !! It was one tough night ill tell you that. I had work at 12am eastern time so i made it back home for 13 hours and took off to work at around 11pm, worked till 12pm on Saturday and went to sleep at 1pm, i was up for good 31 hours no sleep, driving and working ) !!! It was great to see everyone and share the bank space together, even tho fishing was slow i was still happy with my two day trip to TN . Hope you guys enjoy.. Tight Lines All !!!

Spod Mix for Zig Rigs, Made a great clould in the water..

Way to go Marcin
You are the man !!! GREAT JOB... Hard Work Pays Off !!! -
Great session guys !! The thing that really puts a smile is the fish care even for the babies
the mat for example !! Thanks for suxh a nice care guys -
I agree with Iain !! K-1 baits have prooved them selfs a lot
first you need to be confident in what you are using !! I'm a big fan of boilies and its not easy to introduce them to waters !! I started off using boilies an blanked like i never thought i will till i learned how to use them . Proud user of k-1. Give Mihai one of the owners a call, he will be very happy to explain to you how exactly to use boilies and he will help u choose the right flavors ?! -
Good Job "Shown"! As K-1 baits said ! It makes it more impressive that you done all this only with one rod ! Good job once again and keep them coming !
