Golfers talk about "shooting your age." I'm just wondering who is the oldest person on this forum to "catch his/her age?" In other words, have you ever caught a carp with a weight in pounds equal to or more than your age in years? (I'm 45, so it hasn't happened and probably isn't going to, unless I go to the St. Lawrence or some paylake in France.)

I'm 14 , don't really know if I've caught one that weighs as much as how old I am. I have caught quite a few carp but don't really know their weights.

Yup. Bigger than my age by many, many years.
50lb+ Black Drum, and I'm 17.

I've caught a few carp in the 25 range.

Dustin, even as a newborn you haven't caught your age in carp.

Rofl! True, True!
Maybe That will change this winter! Got me a nice spot picked out that I know has Carp (photo proof). Some pushing 30+lbs.

This winter I hope to have some new equipment and a camera so I can take pictures of my catches. I also hope to take a trip down to tawakoni this winter to get in on the bluecat action.

I have not had a carp at 36lbs. I have had buffs larger than the so i count myself lucky

I've only got a handfull of years left to accomplish this feat (at least for carp, and barring a trip to Europe). I hope to at least have my first 30 by the end of the year.

well, i've had a 25lb blue cat!

But hopefully by the end of the year i will be
able to say i've had at least a 23lb carp and buff!

Come sept 4th ill be 23

I think you mean blue cat , if you caught a 25lb channel then you most likely set a new water body record.

yeah thats right thanks lol i meant blue!

Have caught a ton over my age out of the Colorado River in Kingsland.

I caught a 30 this year at the age of 30 at Emma Long. Going to get tougher every year from here on out.

I have caught many carp over 30lbs and I am 30 so yep....I am good up to around 38lbs or 39lbs

But what counts is how old you are when you catch a fish that exceeds your age.

my pb carp is 29.7 at the time it was 2 years older than me.

a 37 at 27

Wow Lonestar don't be such a show-off... i'm just jealous don't listen to me.

What!? Not a forty? I'm disappointed.

A 24 at 24...found one.

im not there yet my largest was 17# at 28 so im workin on it!

Don’t think there is a fresh water fish that weight that much

Sure! I'm just 16.6!

gator gar can be caught at 100lbs fairly easy...and they reach 200lbs in Texas with regularity...sturgen haven been known to top 800lbs unless your Methuselah you should be covered!

found this one at 36lb at 26...
