A mid teens "fun size" weight rod n reel carp from
Baltimore's  Famous Belle Grove Ponds on the tidal
Patapsco back in the days I was founding State
Chairman of the Carp Anglers Group.
Here in the USA, we have sooo many carp we have
hunting sport and season.  Like white-tail deer,
carp bowfishing and harvest is encouraged in many
areas of overpopulation and high biomass. It's
good for the carp, the environment, the ecosystem
and VERY exciting sport.  Love my AMS Bowfishing
Fishhawk and Browning Barracuda bows .  
International Carper/Carpworld UK - subscriber since 2003 and solicited author for brackish
tidal Chesapeake Bay carp sporting expertise.
