Reading about flyfishing for carp has me interested. Catching a fish like the one above on a fly would be a hoot. Hearing of these guys regularly hooking fish on flies that are 10-15 pounds with an occasional 30 pounder (and even apologizing for "little" 5 and 6 pounders) sounds like fun. Doing it from a float tube would be a lake tour also. I've caught a few "regular" carp in times past. As a kid I would get one occasionally while fishing worms for catfish or minnows for bass. Once when I was in college in Western Nebraska and there wasn't a trout to be found within hundreds of miles (at least that I knew of) in desperation I went down to a local puddle and caught a few rubberlips on worms.
Maybe I'm tempted to go over to the dark side, I dunno. But hey, I C&R most of my fish anyway. What's the difference? 30 pound carp in a tube!
