I'm not going to lie folks....but one time me and a friend went carp fishing...and for some oddest reason, we both keep losing them as we reeled them to shore....it was like someone just cut the line as they got to the shore. but line and hook still okay...wierd as hell... Thinking back....there was probably something there day with us we couldn't see.. and we both probably got 10-15 bites each...not a single catch....embar assing, but more creepy now that I think of it...lols
carps get scared really easy
they have good eye sight too
their eye are located almost at the top of their head
you want to scope them up with your net
prefer a long net and do it before they get close to the shore line
once they come near the shore and see you
they going get scared and jump and move to unhook
they got small mouth
always bring a big long net when fishing for carp
don't think you can grab them with your hand like bass
