All I Caught

I went to Kelley Point Park for a few hours for some good old Carp fishing and I kept getting these awkward bites where the pole would bend once. As I reeled my last rod in, I caught this big guy

18 lb Common Carp (Extended Version)

Here is an extended version of the 18 lb Common Carp I caught last Spring. A lot people were asking for the raw video footage to see how long they actually take to reel in. Honestly, I can't even watch this video without throwing up because it's such a shaky video.

Birthday Carp

I was looking through some old photos and I found this picture of the 25 lb Common Carp's tail, and I was just amazed...

My girlfriend and I started our hike at Kelley Point Park in order to find some Carp. A little rule I like to follow during the warmer seasons is 20% of the fish is in 80% of the water. In winter, 90% of the fish is in 10% of the water if this makes any sense at all.
Here is a picture of my beautiful girlfriend who came out to fish with me like always. I'm thankful I got a gf that loves to fish.
I'm not sure wtf I was doing in this picture
Here is pic of a nice 6 lb Common Carp
All in All We caught 2 Carp in 2 hours of fishing....A 6 lber and an 11 lber, so it was a great day before the rain starts again...I hope it doesn't rain 15 DAYS IN A ROW like when Fall just started which really depressed me...
This picture I like to call Fishing Inception. Anyways click on the picture to see a full view and you'll know what I mean

So the day before that fishing day above, was my 25th Birthday and I got a fishing hat and a bunch of Carp fishing gear for my birthday. My co-worker wisely asked me what kind of rigs, hooks, equipment, etc he need in order to go Carp fishing because he supposedly was going to try it out himself...surprisingly he took those notes and bought me fishing gear. I used those gifts to catch the fish above. I think I might make a thread on what stuff to buy for Carp Still Fishing....My girlfriend bought me a laptop so now I'm here editing a few fishing videos that I will post up here soon....

River Monsters+ App

Just showing off a somewhat new App called the River Monster+ App. It's basically like the Facebook App but for fishing.

A new characteristic is that it shows the biggest fish of a species in a specific waterway.


This is one of the first pics I saw from the app. This guy logged in where he caught and how he caught this magnificent beast
Here is the 25 lber I caught at Salish Pond using a white hair rigged bread ball dipped in strawberry syrup, and the 18 lber I caught at Chinook Landing Backwaters using corn, but I got lucky and snagged it instead. Basically what happened is I left my bait out there for like 30 minutes, and when I decided to leave, I picked up the rod and jerked it and it felt like I snagged something, until it started pulling a little then swam directly at me, then exploded left for two minutes straight. I'll upload the full/long/agonizing long video soon. The crowns in the pics represent the biggest fish of its species at that specific waterway aka the king of the water.

So far I've been fishing the Columbia Slough a lot lately but I haven't yet caught "the king of carp". I know so far that the biggest Carp caught off the slough is a 18 lber, unless you guys have proof of something bigger.

Here is a picture of the feed. The feed is practically exactly like Instagrams feed but the left navigation box which I'll show in a bit is like facebook apps left navigation box
You can click analyze to see other locations where this lure has worked or look up all the catches that have been caught with the lure.

Here is a pic of a fish caught and shown in the feed along with comments. For some reason the new update is not letting me reply or comment others...

It's cool how it logs in where your at in a fishing trip like a GPS and shows the weather, water temperature, and your type of bait.
Here is the left navigation box that looks like the one in the facebook app.
Here are some pictures of some catches

So join the River Monsters+ App/follow me and follow me on Instagram at igquick
