It was awesome to catch something this big. It’s only my 2nd fish in January (the other, a 6 inch chub) on too many DuPage river trips to count. And it was my first carp ever.

No, but I was pretty much walleye obsessed with the Fox all winter long, followed by a more recent run of small largemouth.
I've been keeping an eye on a local pond where I observed large numbers of good sized carp last spring. (Never got around to targeting them for some reason I cannot explain.)
When the ice clears, I'm going to pull up Pondboy's Carp blog entry from last year and see if I can make some magic.

Thank you all! (I've changed my DA handle to redhook62 from yesiwillfish) I've seen a lot of Carp catching stories on DA and elsewhere, and wondered when I'd finally hook one of these! Figures that it would happen when I was trying for something else, but I keep my expectations in check whenever I'm out there, so I enjoy any catch, large or small. Can't wait to try some more during this mild week we are expecting!
Boy Wacky, EAS and now Redhook can catch carp on a lure! Man oh man they think I am crazy when I tell people this. Nice job man!
