My Brother In Law actually brought a carp in to weigh at your marina..I think Alma stood there while he weighed it.. I think he turned it in for a lake record..Me, I acted like I didn't know him and bought some minnows.
He is the truth, the light and the way.

Nice fish guys, what do you use as bait over there? And rods/reels? We do a lot of carping in England, sometimes it seems that's all people do!!

Same equipment and methods you use in England dogmax. Boilies, tigers, maize on the hair. Bolt rigs, 12'rods on pods with alarms and the like.
Where punters are punted.

Boilies are available, some do make their own, our retailer is in Oklahoma so stuff doesn't take long to get to us, and we regularly catch lots of catfish. www.bigcarptackle.comMost of us use particles.

IGFA will certify handheald scales up to 100 lbs and TPWD recognizes IGFA certifications.
I believe the fish was weighed on Ruben Heaton dial face scales.
Very fine scales.

Yeah, Jason's Ruben Heaton has already been IFGA certified for previous lake records, so that's the certified scale we used this trip.
