What do you like about this subject?  Fishing for CARP is the number one sport in Europe, and there has been an ever growing interest in the United States. Pound for pound CARP is best fighting fresh water fish there is!
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  It is my intent to promote CARP ANGLING amongst all persons having an a desire to spend an enjoyable, and rewarding bank fishing experience.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  The sport can be done with virtually any fresh water set up , baitcasters, closed or open faced spinners,6 foot rods, as well as sophisticated Carp Angling equipment, including 13 foot rods and specialized bait runner reels, and electronic bite detectors.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  I know, you've heard they were "TRASH" fish, but they are an exciting and intelligent species, abundant in virtually all fresh waters, and they are an eager opponent for young anglers, as they have NO teeth, NO sharp fins, and can be caught on wide variety of baits, that junior female anglers will have no problem with, such as bread, corn, etc.
