If you are a N.A fisherman, I expect your rather amused by now. You would not believe how big carp fishing is ! I wont try to explain why carp are such an attraction in Britain & Europe, but you might like to try it & see for yourself ! there are lots of tips & tricks throughout these pages. Dont forget to check out the exellent links. I think if you hooked into a big carp (or even a 10 Lb fish) you would be amazed at the fight in these fish. Best to give it a try !
Throughout most of Europe & Asia carp are highly regarded (for different reasons). They have saved people from famine, they have survived through Man's mismanagement of the waterways. They have become an ultimate challenge to catch in the west & northern parts of Europe. In these European situations where the carp grow really large (82 lb is the world record captured in Romania), these are cooler waters with rich feeding grounds for the carp. The reason is that spawning of carp in these areas is only occasional & when this situation is perfect for the carp , they have little competition , yet the temperature is suitable for almost year round feeding, & they do not have to compete amongst themselves. This becomes the perfect environment for them to reach maximum size!
