I remember when over 30 years ago I gave my 3 1/2 year-old son a crappie jig on his tiny rod to go fish about 5 feet away from me. I actually thought he would not catch anything, but he still would be entertained while I caught some sauger. Lo and behold my son starts to fight a huge fish. We eventually landed a near 10 lb carp - I still have the picture of him proudly hold that fish up on a stringer. He now is 36 years-old and he is hooked on fishing, and he is a better fisherman than I ever was. Great video.

Ha reminds me of a time my dad and I went fishing and my youngest brother wanted to ride along in the boat. My brother brought his mickey mouse fishing pole and kept bugging my dad about wanting to use this really old rusted ice fishing jig. Finally my dad tied it on, a minute later my brother pulled up a nice walleye from a lake that we didnt even think had walleye!

Carp are incredible fighters! I started fishing for them over 30 years ago, using my 11'6" steelhead noodle rod, 6 lb. test mono, small wide gap hook and canned corn kernels. What a blast!

I love how carp put up such a great fight.

Good to see that some people understand that KZreadrs rely on viewers watching the ads (not skipping them) to make some revenue. So many viewers think that the creator gets paid by KZread just because they watch the video. Put it this way - 1 million views, but all 1 million viewers skip the ads = no revenue to the video creator!

Throwing a wriggle tail grub or curl tail grub for them on the rivers is one of my favourite forms of fishing. Mostly I just throw bread baits in the local lake for them.

You should do a team-up with "Catfish and Carp!" Mr. Carp Fisherman.

I'm happy to see that you can have fun catching carp. Great video.

As a carp guy thanks for showing me something new

I’m really enjoying the Nikko hellgrammites that I got earlier this year. They are durable baits no doubt.

That was very enjoyable Matt. Thanks

In Australia, we call the Carp 'Mud Marlins' because of the way they fight, especially when catching them up around the 1 meter mark, you sure do know you have a fish on. Great vid as always Matt.

My dad use to smoke carp. He built a smoker out of a 50 gallon vegetable oil drum. We had an apple tree that had been struck by lightning, and dad used the apple wood to smoke the carp. It had alot of bones in it, but it was good. He loved crappie fishing in the river across the road, and salmon snagging in Sheboygan, and paddle fishing in Wyoming. Paddle fish is really good in beer batter. Lots of good fishing in his life.

I love fishing artificials for carp. They are such an awesome fighting fish, and they get pretty big also.

Great content as always. Really like that you explained the setup and tacit. 👍🎣

Yes !! Made my day. Catching up on chores. Few minutes for bass. Thanks.

I’m so happy you posted this video because as I was on the CT river here in VT I was throwing my whopper plopper over a grassy stretch and some big carp were munching stuff on the surface and I was shocked. Nice to see you were having similar experience except you were actually catching carp.

I've done that with a miniature jitter bug in black. I wood paint red eyes on it when the cicada were coming on to hatch. Only problem though is it is a 16-17 year wait. But it really works.

This was back in the late 70's I was in moses lake washington.. In those days if I didn't fish at least 3 or four times a week I had withdrawals.. Any way moses lake back then was basically a carp lake (they have since poisoned it off and they have a great lake now.. But I went for a day out to fish carp.. had a blast caught som monsters out there.. The one and only time I ever fished for those creatures.. But with a medium eagle claw pole and 6 lbs test you can imagine he fun.... Though it might have been my heavy line the 8 lbs test I was using.. I have not fish for carp since and I have not been back to moses lake either.. But I hear it is a terrific lake these days.. Thanks for the share and carry on.. love to go fishing with you..

Carp are Great Fighters I have Foul Hooked big ones before and man they are hard to get in.

Very cool. Always neat to get a carp to legitimately take a lure.

Thanks for sharing your setup.

I honestly didnt think you can fish lures for carp. Thats outstanding

Yet another fantastic video!

Always enjoy watching your videos

Wow dude you are such great angler! Keep up the good work!

Just imagine the Carp fly fishing at that time

Seems like another great fishing channel. Subbed!

Funny you posted this.. I caught a big grass carp on a whopper plopper last weekend on the river. I’ve never had it happen before. Took me for a fun ride in the yak

That’s look like so much fun catching carp that way. Good video.

Thanks for sharing. I also enjoy sight fishing for Carp. 👍

First time i see topwater carp fishing, awsome, never knew that it possible!

Interesting deal ~ Didn't see that coming. Nicely Done.

great videos, wife and I wind down in the evenings to them ...IMO you are the Bob Ross of fishing =) (famous TV painter, smooth soothing voice as he taught how to paint)

Nice video buddy some of the best

Can’t let my son see this one! He would love to try this out in South Jersey. Great stuff Matt!

Another great one!!

I once had a carp turn and chase a Mepps Aglia, even nipped at it without being hooked. I've also read about fly-fishermen who fish a pattern imitating a certain kind of plant-blossom that carp eat. They are indeed more interesting and unpredictable than they're often given credit for.

Poor mike long, probably an uber driver these days. I watched a grass carp eat my topwater popper once, probably thought it was a leaf. Definitely a rare bite.

I wish I was half as good as you are at getting a hook out of a fish. You have some sort of effortless technique.

What a great side track. Those carp will put up a fight. 👍

Great video top water lure

G'day from Australia. I love your videos buddy. We call them European Carp here in Australia and they are considered a pest. European carp (Cyprinus carpio) is a pest that adversely affects the health of our rivers and wetlands. It was first introduced to Australian waterways more than 100 years ago and has since established in every state except the Northern Territory. Able to tolerate a wide range of conditions and habitats, including low-oxygen and brackish water, it is considered one of the country's major aquatic pests. If we catch these we are not allowed to throw them back in any water way, we have to throw them on the bank or some people keep them to eat. They also make excellent crab bait. I keep them from crab bait. Keep up the good fishing.

I don’t care if I’m first or not I didn’t see the thumbnail I didn’t see the video yet I didn’t see the title but I know the videos gonna be great

Any info on the pliers you use? I've been looking to buy new ones and think the scissor style you use would work great

"Not mike longing it" lol priceless.

Yet another good and informative video...I also catch carp from time to time...strong fighters. Quick question if you do not mind: regarding tying topwater lures or any lures to line, do you think it makes a difference tying the line directly to the lure versus tying a Duolock snap to the line for easy, quick lure changes? Thank you for your time...

Everybody rips on carp until you realize they're more beast mode than pretty much anything else. Smart things are tough to catch a lot of the time.

I've not seen or heard of anyone catching carp in the UK on floating lures like this. Sometimes hear of people fly fishing for carp with nymphs and blobs. I've ordered a few similar lures and hooks to try when it warms up in spring. Will be alot of fun if it works. Can't see why it wouldn't. I've got some lovely light lure setups that would make catching carp fun. I find they tend to be qute boring on the usual heavier carp rod setups. Thanks for sharing.

Mr carp is just like: “mmm. Yummy oxygen!”

Definitely a sleeper spot. I know the lake. I need to get some helgramites haha

Love to catch carp in the local river. They put up an excellent fight. Caught a 20 lb carp the other day, took about 30 minutes to land him. The locals were begging me to give it to them to eat. It got released back to the river..

Amazing!

Those carp are just suckers hanging out with the bass holes.

Ever used the heddon mossboss, good surface lure , great for weedy venues

I've caught carp on small panfish jigs. Marabuo hair and plastic as well as bug style jigs. They eat bugs and in some rare occasions they will eat small bait fish. But they are very very fun to catch.

Awesome

Top water lure, sight fishing, CARP? SWEET!!! "Mike Long'n em'", LOL, LOL!!!!!

I've used small Krazy Krawlers to take huge carp feeding on the surface. If you can time it right, and be there when the 16 year locusts are out and about you will be Golden with this set-up.

you're like the Bob Ross of fishing

I have to say the place is a good fishing spot especially on a kayak. I fish carps regularly and this is new to me as well carps biting top water bug. I fish carps with 4lb test 5ft ultralight ugly stik lol that is STRUGGLE...

Thanks Chris! I’ve gone through a couple packs since I first started using them last year. I don’t think I’ve ever destroyed one, I either lose them to a snag or have given a few away to friends to try.

How neat

This gives me an idea how to catch carp, redhorse... I hope they take the bait anytime of the year. I fish to eat and I see big carps swimming around where I fish from the bank. Maybe this hellgrammite will get them to bite in the shallow.

Did you try the gold mayfly, you have often used?

The only time I’ve been able to consistently catch carp is with live crawdads. They love em!

hookws into a nice 8lb carp on a neg rig not to long ago they are a lot of fun to catch!

Hahaha bugle mouth bass are fun!

The bugle mouthed brown trout!

I'm fishing a pond right now and there are about 30 visible carp and they are going crazy for my whopper plopper 75. I've never seen anything like it, I can't even hook a bass lol

Is It not difficult to cast those light lures with a 10 pounds monofilament? Is it nylon or fluorocarbon?
