It's his first 20 lber. and a PB. Huge congrats! |
I got out yesterday with two of our new members, Scott and Evan. We went to a spot that had been kind to me in the past, and which has some good size carp. Both Scott and Evan were looking for a place where they might score a big fish or two. This was the place based on my past catches here.
The place didn't disappoint as the four of us landed 4 carp in a few hours of fishing. All of them were decent size. But, the big story of the evening was that Scott landed a PB (Personal Best) carp of 20 lbs. This was his first 20 lber.
Success in carp fishing can be measured in different ways like number of fish one catches or by the biggest fish. Big ones are not easy to come by. It took me ten years of carp fishing to get my first 20. It took another 5 years to get my first 30. But, after that the 30's and even a few 40's came quickly. I figured it out, and stuck with it.
Scott made a big leap tonight, and I am happy for him. He landed his first 20, and it's now onto beating that fish with an even bigger PB. That's the way carp fishing works and often the way success is measured for many.
