Record Common Carp (Catch&Release) Guadalupe River !

Huge CONGRATULATIONS to Clayton aka Wildman of the navidad on his pending Guadalupe River Catch&Release Record Common Carp. The length of the fish was 33.5 inches. The approx weight of the fish was 20 lbs. A certified scale was not close by and thus a weight record will not be filed. Clayton was using corn for bait and he also used corn to chum the water. This was one of eight carp he caught. All of the fish were over 15 lbs. The previous Catch&Release was 32". Paper work will be sent to the Texas Parks&Wildlife for the Guadalupe River Catch&Release Record. A Big Fish Award will also be applied for. The fish put up one HECK of a FIGHT! Again Congratulations Clayton on catching a SUPER FISH and your pending record. Watching a "Master Angler" catching some HUGE fish! It just don't get any better!







NEW RECORD both Catch&Release and Weight for the Guadalupe River!


Weight 25.24 Lbs.
Length 37".

Great fish and record so glad it wasn't with a bow and left to rot. Congratulations on that record!!!

thanks Socal& Robert

I can remember the day when the Carp section was on fire! Great seeing your post again! Hopefully some of you guys will start posting again!

Wow. It did not take the Wildman of the navidad long to break his record. Nice carp and congratulations.

Side note. Fishing with the banker equils records. Again super fish.

Thanks Gitter and yeah fishing with banker ur going to catch somthing good no two ways about it

Thanks for the reply! Going to try real hard to get a carp on the fly. Any ideas on the best time of year to catch one on the fly?

In the summer I see slot of em in really shallow water cruising the bank and feeding on top Guadalupe river state park is a good place to try

Water bodies are in GREAT shape. You should do pretty good Curtis on the fly!

Hope so. I think I have some pretty good spots picked out! "Chum and they will come". That will be the plan.

Chum and the will come no doubt

I will add to more names to the BIG FISH catchers! Been reading the post the last seven years! Mike (USMC-GY) and Fred (RIONATOR!). Again congratulations Wildman of the navidad on your record fish.

I have been fishing with both Mike and Fred for years and I can honestly say for every one BIG fish I catch,they catch three! Both those guys are "BIG FISH MAGNETS"

Thanks! Again awesome fish.

Go get you one Curtis on the fly! Best of luck!

+1 curtis

Awesome fish Wildman

Clayton has gone off the radar screen! He has been very busy working!

And on the weekends im too tired to go or no one can go with me

Way to go! Nice specimen, and sounds like a great day on the water!

Thanks Red snappa for the reply! Carp are AWESOME FIGHTERS!

Clayton's New Common Carp Record that broke his old record C&R. This fish was caught this year and is both the current weight and Catch&Release Guadalupe River Record! Caught March 2,2017.

You guys have put the WHAMMY on those carp this year! Again super fish and a super job.

SUPER FIGHTING fish for sure!
