Hereby we ask the anglers community if you going to take some Carp home for the pan please take Carp under 5kg .

Older Carp has a muddy taste and you will do good as you leave space in the water behind for the existing Carp to get bigger , furthermore in the dry season you will save other Carp ' s lives by saving oxygen , the netters we will never control and the sensitive catch and release anglers keep up the good work as over the past years the sizes of our Carp has dramatically increased in all our lakes ..

eat what they catch and we cannot stop them .
The ultimate result will be when Monster Carp hunters teach the community to catch and release all Carp over 8 kg , the legal permitted netters to release what is in the net over 5 kg and the hook and cook brigade to join in and support this idea and only kill smaller Carp for the pan ............ only in your dreams this would happen !!!!
In real life netter kill fish to survive , the hook and cook brigade lives for a traditional meal and the catch and release believers is sensation hunters , unfortunately we will never find an agreement amongst these parties .
Needs no introduction , this specimen angler defines the word intelligent when in Monster Carp mode , his passion for the game is relentless , when in hunting mode he out lives the never say die attitude and with his motivated energy levels , he is always on the top of his beloved sport netting monster after monster and has a thick photo album that proves success .
Shadowing him is his son Mark with some brilliant result in recent years he is a very strong believer of catch and release practice and pride himself in Carp care , we seriously need more father and son teams like this to protect the future of our carp .
