screamerdreamer Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Just wanted to share this shot of a 33 banked the other day. Probably the fattest fish I've ever pulled in, especially for a river fish. Close to being wider than long! 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't touch such fish with my bare hands, quite frankly. Too late now lol. Thanks for the heads up anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I creek fish a lot and those carp are longer, stronger and leaner than lake carp, the majority of the latter don't fight nearly as strong- WELL DONE!!!

Yeah we catch a lot of those long, lean ones which made this one so surprising. Looks to me like a a pre-spawn female with a lot of eggs and probably a lot of the cooked corn I was heavily pre-baiting with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(MO) MOCarper Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 So, if any of you have any compassion for the Midwest, you would use your investments to divert those waterways towards Missouri. I can give you specific GPS coordinates! I will take care of chumming the route, and would safely turn any monsters I catch in the general direction back towards you when released. But, you know carp- they have a mind of their own and may choose to stick around.....If it's easier, I'll travel out there I guess...... Congrats to all!!!!!..Truly impressive!!.......

(MO) MOCarper Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Well, with only a couple days left, caught my second largest common tonight, 3rd of 4 fish, the others of which were low teeners-this one played with the hair for 5-7 minutes and took off like a tarpon, but tired within minutes......almost thicker than it is long!!.....and then it stormed, once again- ......thanks for the quick response to my request David!!......I did what I said and pointed her towards the Northeast........

(MO) MOCarper Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 So...........unlikely I'll get any bigger fish tonight; this is likely my CAG Big Four Spring 2019. 24-0, 22-2, 21-1 and 21-0........Can't compete with the big boys out east, but around here-respectful catches, and they're only gonna get bigger!.........Thanks to all who helped organize the event and the anglers that participated!!!. Was great fun!!!.............. MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
