After catching a big carp a couple days ago on accident I decided I would go out thismorning and target them. I had a medium action spinning rod and a light action spinning rod with six pound test. I was fishing with white bread and caught a very pretty looking koi carp. He was 28 inches long and I got him on the light action rod. The fight one of the best fights I have had with a fish in my life. Here is the pic of the fish....

another pic of the koi next to the rod i used....

On another note for some reason I am realy good at catching big carp but terrible at catching big bass....

you crack me up man. nice catch and on ultra light none the less.

Very nice job.  When the professional Koi/Carp  tour gets popular you'll be as famous as KVD.

Wow i didnt know there was such thing as a professional carp tour. Me and my cousin fished in a carp tourney in england once when I was visiting though. We did pretty well but did not win anything.....

Stop fishing fishing in your neighbours pond and concentrate on the bass!! ;D ;D

Just kidding, that's a cool fish! 8-)

LOL that cracked me up. The two closest lakes for me have lots of carp but not many koi so this was a pretty rare catch. Anyway I seem to be haveing great luck with lunker carp and no luck with lunker bass recently so I think il be fishing for carp for the next couple weeks....They grow much bigger than bass and you usually get a better fight out of them as well....

Like your shirt says...you got skills!! Very beautiful fish!!

It would be interesting to see a list of all the diferent species of fish you have caught.  It seems like you post a different one every day.  

I'd love to hook a carp just once.... :-/

Ya did good young man!
