Good idea. The verifying neighbor team member and/or Marshal will need to make sure the scale is zeroed first, then verify the weights. No doubt

I hope this gets said before the start of tomorrow. Heard some stuff from around the lake

I'm not a fan of digital scales.  Would much rather have dials that show needle below zero.  

Yes sir

Lol "two lucky draws again" maybe 2 news swims!  but 2  lucky draws 

See everyone there cant wait.  Good luck to all. I hope the carp gods visit all of us.

 

Maybe everyone can take pics of scales zeroed and  then a pic showing the weight of the fish. as well as the fish after to go with the weight especially if its a big 6 every Pound and ounce will count......... Rule should be implemented in this type of tourney I would think

I don't believe it's currently in the rules, but it's always a GREAT idea to have keep sacks, if needing to wait for a marshal to weigh.

If anyone needs to borrow a keep sack, or ANY CARP CARE GEAR, let us know. We can get you sorted out!

Ok thank you

OMG-You are addicted!!!!!!!... Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah- them's some good ones!!..... and you know you are addicted when;

 

        You log every carp you catch on an excel worksheet ( which you don't know how to use) with weight, length, date, time, moon, wind, direction)-you don't show it to anyone, its just for you!

               You paste your CAG Big Four pictures to your office door

                         You spend lunchtime making hair rigs

                                You think you see surfacing carp on google maps when you zoom in to potential ponds......

                                      You start a thread titled "You know you're addicted to carp fishing when........"..

 

Keep-em coming!!!

             

  

 

this one is the best i thought i seen this multiple times. 

your addicted when you go on google maps aerial view and looking at a lakes and rivers shallows to see if there are carp hanging around lol

 your addicted when your co workers around you start talking to you about carp like they know what they are talking about after listening to you for so long when you know they've never spent a day fishing in there life.

 

[You know you're addicted to carp fishing when......]

When you always look at the grocery store flyers for your hottest pack or method items to go on sale so you can buy it in bulk. Happened to me the other day now i have about 120lb of bait in my living room because of no where to store it lol 

When your favorite can of sweet corn or cream style goes on sale from almost 90 cents to 50 cents and you start thinking about your bills and gas for the week and spending a 20 on just corn will be ok. 

When you Spend your breaks and lunches and just about every chance you get to look at maps just to find that one great lake or river that might be holding the holy grail of nice carp. 

When you're at work and thinking about the next flavor or flavors you want to try.

When you're constantly trying to crack the code of how to catch big carp. 

When your whole 2 car garage is full of carp gear there is no room for a car.

When your garage is so full you start using the coat closet and every closet possible to store your gear, bait or tackle.

When you're thinking about the FFF for next year and it's barely January 2nd. 

When everything you see as you walk down grocery Isles seems like it's the key ingredient that you been missing to cracking the mystery of all carp fishing. 

When you start looking in the back of products to see what's in the ingredients and how much sugar carbs and vitamins it's has.

When you constantly log on to CAG to see what's going on in the world.

When you start looking up how other countries fish for carp. 

When you Spend a lot of your time watching carp fishing videos on YouTube because you didn't make it out that day. 

When you just finished your session and already thinking about the next. 

When you're thinking of getting a fish tank and adding some carp to it just to see how they feed and maybe test some baits on them?

When the next property you buy needs a pond and  some carp in it.

When you walk down the bank with 50lb+ of gear when all you needed before was a pole, a can of corn a hook and a net. 

When you're wife tell you "you need to put a fridge to store your bait in the garage"

When you're garage looks like your house has a second kitchen from all the  blenders pots and small appliances you have in there because of the baits and experiments you make. 

When you vacuum your car and you find a small piece of bait from your last outing. 

When you start carrying a note book when you go fishing because your at a point where you're hundreds of fishing ideas in your head have clouded your mind and now  need to be on paper.
