Heya Ben,
Great video there. I'm glad you tried out the lowly carp. Lotsa people bag on them, but they have provided me many a fun filled afternoon catching them. They are a great species to target with kids as well. If I have a couple of tough outtings with the kids, I make sure to go after the carp with them so they can have some success.
I was really glad to see you catch and release them. I told this jerk I used to work with about the chum balls and corn method and he was way disrespectful to the fish. Made me wish I hadn't of told him.
Anyhow, I hope your report and video will encourage more to go after this game fish. They can be really fun on the fly rod as well. I intend to show Syn how to get them on the fly rod as soon as we can get together.
Later,
