ynnhoj86 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Went out targeting these Israel carp and got this whopper! Was using light gear that I use for trout. Good ten min fight. Got two today. 1 Quote

Fishmaster10 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Nice catch! I've always wanted to catch a mirror carp, but they've eluded me so far Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted January 29, 2012 Super User Posted January 29, 2012 Never heard of it either! Anything that will give me a fight is good for me though. Great catch... Quote
Bass-minded Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Hey, I just did some research on carp and found out that that carp you caught is a mirror carp. Leather carp don't have any scales and grass carp don't have barbels on there mouths. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted March 18, 2012 Super User Posted March 18, 2012 Carps put up one heck of a fight! As ugly as they are and somewhat hated they aren't a joke to mess with on light gear.....They are responsible for a lot of snapped rods from people fishing for other species. I watched so many people try to lift these things up over a wall,boat or horse it in only to watch their rods turn into 2 pieces. I don't see too many good size mirror carps being caught in that size around here.They are somewhat a rarity to catch. Quote
