Great video Erik and some absolutely stunning fish you had there mate. Awesome winter colours on them. Good luck for your next session

some great carp Erik, lovely mirrors mate, they seem to be abit more frequent in your areas compared to some places in america, or are they still a super rare treat :)?

[BlackstoneCarp]

@clark144 The Blackstone River is 99% Mirror carp..all other water ways in the state are mostly common. So yeah still a treat outside of a few water ways most in our country are commons.

Great stuff Erik, those carp must pull hard in that current. They have stunning colours in the cold water too!!!

[BlackstoneCarp]

@kingfisher4522 Thanks. They do, luckily there is a nice section of calmer water and a back current. Long as we keep em out of the main channel we only have to deal with their strength, not the current as well. Love the orange and red tints to em..stunning fish, I think it every one I catch.

What a brilliant video, got to 20 minutes and now being rudely interupted :@ so il have to watch the 10 mins later, the carp are dead pretty id love to catch a big fully scaled one like that, not had a fully scaled over 4lb lol. Keep up these cracking vids :)

[BlackstoneCarp]

@CarefulCarping Thanks bud. You only missed the greatest part of the video! I kid..I think the best part happened in the first like 5 minutes when I hit the 15..the rest is just icing on the cake, so to speak lol. I do love some of the mirrors here though, which is why this is my favorite river to fish ..and Massachusetts has quite a few good ones.

brilliant video, and ive got to say they are the best looking carp I have ever seen! what a terrific stamp of fish!

[BlackstoneCarp]

@fenlandfisherman Thanks bud. Some of these fish are untouched and the colors are just..breathtaking.

Fantastic session Erik, you smashed the granny out of it! :)

Nice to see you on the Mistral too (sending you a pm about it) pretty unbelievable you could get some over there. But lovely fish and great video!

[BlackstoneCarp]

Got your PM and I got one word for you...Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it bud, hopefully 2012 is gonna be a killer year for all of us!

me and rich played with our cameras underwater but when we got home we realied we had it on R4 wich is the small video with inch boarders either side which looks bad when edited into the normal widescreen camera so the stuff we filmed did not make the episode but look out for our gopro action next episode...buy the way this looks a great winter spot well done for getting out

[spaggage08]

@sleepyfisherman10 lol, great minds think (copy) alike!

[spaggage08]

Looks like you had a very nice session and that scaley Mirror at 18:40 was a real nice looker.

Thanks for sharing.

[BlackstoneCarp]

@francolinobasco Thanks for watching, really glad you enjoyed it bud. I am lucky to have a very good looking stock of fish to chase down.
