How Close is Romania to Chernobyl???

flukerr,

Wow those truly are enormous carp. Thanks for sharing the site. I have seen what I thought were big carp until today in the Hudson, Missouri, and Red rivers but those take the cake.

I wonder if anyone knows if carp grow larger in Europe than the US? There were only records of European nations, and the bulk of the big ones were from Romania. Do you think anything near those are around on this side of the Atlantic?

They use these Boilies and hair rigs for those monsters> Any body ever use these? I have never seen them used around here, they could be deadly effective since our carp have never seen them.....

OH MY GOD!What the **** are these fish eating,helium?Now that you brought the carp subject up let me tell you a story about a run in with a carp that I had.well there I was visiting my aunt in Albany New York in may around 2 years back.Day three and Im already feeling the affects of being away from the coast.So i asked my uncle if there was any good fresh water fishing around there.He says oh yeah there killing the shad down by the hudson.Hidy ho to the hudson we go.We picked up some herring rigs and made are way to the hudson.He took me to the mouth of a stream that empties out into the hudson where I immediatley hooked a 4 pound shad on my first cast,instant relief and I felt the cabin fever leaving my body.Is it just me or do shad look like baby tarpon?Gave me a nice fight jumped all over the place gottem in and threw him back.I made about ten more casts with no response from the fish.So I said to myself maybe there on the bottom.So there I was bouncing my herring rig on the bottom with a small baitcasting outfit rigged with 10 pound test when suddenley I get snagged.I actually jerked the rod a few times to try to get it out and all of a sudden the snag begins to move!First thing that came to mind was that I had snagged a striped bass because it was the middle of the spring spawning run.So this snag starts to peel line of my reel like its not even hooked.After a minute and a half of running I can already see the bottom of my spool.So I thumbed the spool out of desperation and turned the rod and it worked.I turned this fish around.About 20 minutes went by and I was still playing tugowar with this animal.By this time I had a huge crowd of passer by's watching in aww.The fish surfaces about 10 feet in front of me and all I saw was a big brown object that looked like a log.I looked closely and saw that it was huge carp .It had taken the bottom hook of my herring rig ,popped it off and got snagged by another hook from the rig in the anus!lol.Beautiful fight though had a lot of fun!Oh yeah it was about 25 -30 pounds.

Hudson Carp

I had a similar experience to Thebassblaster's, except I was actually targeting Stripers in the Hudson. I cast a 3/4 oz bucktail into a rip where I've gotten bass in the past. I felt a light tap, then WHAMMO I think I'm into a decent striper. You know the end of the story by now. 10 min. later a big brown boil. The carp took the bucktail, hooked in the corner of the mouth.

I've also gotten big white cats in the same spot on bucktails and one even took a 10" jointed firetiger rapala once.

Hey flukerr, whats a boilie rig. I just checked out the pics. I didn't see what baits they were using.

Holy Carp(s)!!

(and the catfish-ettes ain't half bad either)

 

[flukerr]

I was doing a little more reasearch on these monsters and found out that some of those fish have been named.Some of them are actually insured!!!
Part of the reason the carp is held in high reguard in those countries is water quality.There lakes and ponds can't support other species of fish.....
