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.

Hey Redhook any winter carp action this year?

Nice catch redhook! It's really cool to catch something like that in January.

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!

really nice fish.


It is VERY exciting catching a carp on lures. Makes your heart stop for a second or two. Great job yesIwillfish!
