Are there any serious carp fishermen out there? I met a guy yesterday at the park who caught a couple huge carp. He showed me his tackle and all his gear. I was very impressed. Quite a serious sport for these big strong speedsters. Carp fishing is super popular in Europe and the UK. I think I could get into fishing for carp. I've sat there in the past and used doughballs on light rods for carp, but this is way beyond that. Carp fishermen are as serious about their fishing as bass fishermen are about theirs!
Here's a pic of a big carp caught at Fairmount Park. This is not the guy I met, but a photo from Fairmount Park's Facebook site. His name was not listed..
