Story 2001 First Carp in America

My First Carp in America

 

When July 2001
Where Woburn, MA
Who All by myself...

 

 


The story

 

Here are the two guys who changed my life... I was having moderate fun catching sunfishes (bass were not cooperative this day) when I saw these guys come, chum with sweet corn, and after half an hour, catch this 10+ carp! What? There are carp in the US? And this seems real fun to catch! What am I doing with these scrappy sunfish and bass?

 

Interestingly enough, I never crossed the path of those two guys since then.

So I tried myself the week-end after... I hooked a fish, but lost it. I tried again, until I caught this oh-so-wonderful fish, so surprised by my success that I really didn't know how to handle this whacker!

This was in July 2001, Horn Pond (Woburn, MA) and the rest is history.

 

Actually, I did catch quite a few carp when I was a teenager (in France, my homeland), but I don't have any picture of it. Anyway, July 2001 was a new beginning for me, after a carp-less time of roughly 20 years...

 

PS. to see more pics of first carp, check this thread on the CAG forum.
