Overgrown Goldfish – Carp

My last qualified fish before I became unqualified for the Mixed-Bag tourney was a Carp. Some people apparently get ‘fever’ from this.

While I am not one in on the ‘Carp-Craze’- I was intrigued at the gold color and symmetry of its scales. For the record, and not to be a total hater- the fish did fight well and put a big bend in the rod. But in the end I still think Carp are ugly fish. For those of you who don’t. I’ve made the featured photo above. I made it with my iPad on Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, and you can use it as a wallpaper/background for the electronic device of your choosing; for free!

See you on the high ground,

    Nice picture AA, I am in fact a carp lover, I know “shoot me down” but as you say they fight really well and as far as im concerned fishing is about the challenge and the battle of landing your target. Nice article, keep up the good work!

      Thank you Danny. It’s ok if you like Carp- I won’t hold it against you, ha. I just like to give a few friends a hard time about. And you are right it’s all about enjoying the sport and getting that good fight on. Tight lines! Glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks.
