That carp was caught in same pond and is a very rare hybrid between a mirror carp and a butterfly koi. I have also seen ghost koi and large gold fish caught out of northlakes. Recently I caught a strange solid gold carp. I I will upload pics tonight. To see the story and more pics on the catfish search Mike doran catfish on youtube.

I grew up fishing for carp as a kid, they are a blast to catch, easy to catch and most European and Asian cultures consider them a delicacy. I caught some in Korea when I was stationed there. Google carp fishing tournaments and look at the prize money, https://www.facebook.com/worldcarpmasters My favorite technique was to feed the ducks with bread until the carp showed up, then add a hook to a floating slice of bread. I also caught some under a mulberry bush as they ate the mulberry's that fell in the water. Enjoy catching them, I only used 6-8 lb line so it was always a blast...

Well that's a good write up. I'm glad you think carp should be respected and are a pretty fish. If that's how you feel then why hold them with lip grippers and weigh them like that? Not to criticize you but if your really this passionate about carp fishing then you should invest in a unhooking mat and a proper weigh sling, net and weigh station. It makes me cringe seeing a fantail carp or mirror carp being held by the gills or lips with grippers. There is a post at the top of the page that explains everything we use to protect these fish and return them back without major harm.

Nice catches Mike. But we need to teach you how to hold and weigh the carp so they won't be harmed.We respect the fish we catch and do our best to release them without doing more damage than the hook does.And thanks for trying to give advice on catching the way you do, however most of use started off old school style like that. Good write up and again nice catching.

I am making a fold out fish bag tonight actually. I saw a youtube video on how to make your own. Very good point though. Definitely don't like poking hole in there lip. I weigh and measure all the carp I catch and want to do it the right way and completely agree with your comment.
