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
