[TheCarpCatcher]

@chippychoocha best of luck fella

[chippychoocha]

@TheCarpCatcher - You might remember me ... from way back when you created that website where users could upload their catch pictures. Im the bloke from Spain, was sending photos from the Ebro. I was chatting to you quite a bit through the site etc .... ring any bells ?

[TheCarpCatcher]

@chippychoocha oh yer i remember the Ebro carper and those stunning pics which i still have...somewhere backed up from my old site:)

now we have facebook..it's a lot less work for me:P

[TheCarpCatcher]

@thecarpdude thanks:)

[francolinobasco]

That is a beauty Steve, my mouth went dry when the fish weeded itself and what a beauty it was, lovely colours and build, reminds me in some ways of a Leney. Well in fella.

[TheCarpCatcher]

@francolinobasco I think a lot of these carp are indeed leney type strains. Cheers

[FlabStaba]

That's what carp fishing is all about there's only one word for that satisfaction!

[TheCarpCatcher]

@FlabStaba yep i agree cheers

[TheCarpCatcher]

@Chris1Kent AGREED!

[jasonfarley87001]

Brilliant result steve. Had a warm feeling inside wen i heard u say " its the linear" What a gorgeous fish. I dont think iv ever seen a better looking fish! Well done mate, well done! Im jelous.

[TheCarpCatcher]

@chrisisbest04 Most folk dont i suspect which indicates an ignorance that really should be addressed...hence the lack of pike in the cam...

[chrisisbest04]

@TheCarpCatcher I think the lesson we can learn from Carp Quest 2011, is that HARD work ALWAYS pays off!

[TheCarpCatcher]

@chrisisbest04 oh yes (i think i have delete some of this thread by mistake?? opps! network connection....)

[pascalgeleen]

verry verry well done.. i`m from holland, and i realy enjoy watching the blogs of you, and from day one in river carp quest, youre talking about that liniear, and then.. those delkims gave the sound every angler wants to hear.. great, and a verry stunning fish, what a great blog.. i hope to see more of you in the future, and keep on cooking those sausage, cuarse even when youre not catching fish, its still verry funny to watch, keep on going, and please keep blogging.. greets from pascal.

[TheCarpCatcher]

@pascalgeleen Thanks Pascal your support is appreciated

[CarefulCarping]

Brilliant, really happy to see you land that carp, you shown the reality and how it is when you hook that fish your after! they way you was playing it calmly until you seen it was the linear then you went into complete panic repeating yourself, such a joy to watch, even i was nervous you didnt lose it for you haha. did you have to end the video there though? now i have to wait for the next part, which im sure we will watch in anticipation, Good Job again mate!

[TheCarpCatcher]

@CarefulCarping Yer when i realised it was the fish i was after i did go a tad wobbly! All the other fish were a bonus but this was the one i was after and losing it would have been tough

[js1714]

You are indeed a credit to what most of us do. In that, for most of us its not about catching big huge fish,,,its about fishing, something you do,,,very well. Thanks Steve.

[TheCarpCatcher]

@js1714 Cheers fella i draw from the great anglers lessons, Walker, Marks, Yates, Hutchinson, Lane, Gibbinson etc etc My joy in carping is the adventure.

[chrisisbest04]

"There is nothing better than this for me - not even a woman!"

[TheCarpCatcher]

@chrisisbest04 true:)

well done matey top angling and top videos. better than the ones in the shops were there just plugging there sponsers! keep the videos coming!!

[TheCarpCatcher]

@chesurechesure if someone is selling you something it does take the edge of eh

[chesurechesure]

@TheCarpCatcher yeah not only that mate it does my head in when there plugging the s**t out of products and having swims roped of for them i know its part of there job but there videos never seem real. weres as us normal blokes do really have to put in extra effort. sound like i'm having a right moan now hope you and other anglers reading this get what i mean.

[TheCarpCatcher]

@chesurechesure I dont go fishing with an agenda or with products to push i go fishing because my very soul tells me too. We all have to make a living though eh:)
