I got started carp fishing because my brother Austin used to go fishing without me and I didn’t like fishing at that time. Every time he came back, he showed me the pictures of the carp he caught. I was always amazed of the fish because I used to think 5 lb carp were huge. So one day I took my small rod out fishing and I got my first ever carp. I was amazed because they put up a good fight. Ever since then I wanted to fish and learn more about carp.

There are a lot of reasons I like carp fishing. You really have to know a lot about carp to catch them, they put up a good fight, and it’s a good challenge. There are many different pieces of equipment you can use to fish for them, some of which include 12ft rods, bite alarms, hair rigs, rod pods, tripods, unhooking mats, nets, and the slings to weigh all my catches of the day. What I like best though is hearing the scream of my bite alarm when a carp has gone for one of the flavorful scents of my baits; there is no other thrill for me like catching this 21 lb.
