Carp fishing using a waggler

I cought it at Carters Lake GA, USA a few months ago. Using a waggler I cought this nice fish, I dont know how much it weighs but it is a very nice fish. I was using a 6lb line and a size 8 hook on corn. We are working on getting a bigger lnding net for our future videos. Enjoy and Comment.

dude u said 6 lb line and then u said it was a 16lb fish ?!?!

First of all I didnt weigh the fish so I dont know much it weighed, 16lb was an estimate. Yes I did use a 6lb line, which doesnt mean I have to only catch fish up to 6lb. If I understand your comment, I think you are saying that there is no way I can net a 16lb fish using 6lb line?

how big was the first carp m8

[carpangler89]

I didnt weigh it, but it was probably about 16lb

Well done for returning the Fish...

@mbigland Depending on the skill on the angler you can catch big fish on a very light line, it's all about a rod that compensates for the line, and a good set drag.

I love fishing with my lightest rod and 2lb line for carp however if the fish get into weed or lillies there is little chance of landing them. My best on this gear is 12lb but I catch many more than others near me because of my system. Fish very light with a size 4 hook into a chunk of fresh bread about the size of my fist floating on the edge of the lillies. Never fails.

@carpangler89 indeed it is very possible with proper care and skills too catch a 16lb fish on a 6lb fish

@carptips

Amen to that..see my other comment.

@mbigland

6lb line should be no problem for a 16lb fish...I have caught an 18lb carp on 6lb line, and a 17lb on 4lb line...if you give line and backwind when the fish goes on a run,, and don't jerk the line it should not break.
