Why is carp fishing not popular at all in the usa?
I see all the time how, the UK or other European countries have carp fishing right at the top. Yet, the U.S doesn’t think of carp fishing popular at all. I’ve fished for every fish before, catfish, carp, bass, panfish, walleye. And carp are the hardest fighting of any of those, yet they don’t have any respect? They’re not nasty little things that just dirty up the water, they’re my favorite sport fish! At second i would put catfish. I just don’t like it, in Bass Fishing you’re continuously moving throwing a lure here and there and reeling, jigging, popping. I’d rather get some dough ball with 3 rods and lay them out while I’m enjoying myself. So, why isn’t carp fishing popular in the United States?
give it time. americans are slowly coming around in giving them the recognition they are due. pound for pound, nothing in f/w fights harder. and they can be more selective than trout. most of the carp fishing in europe is catch and release . not because they aren’t edible but for their game qualities. there are fly fishers who target carp in the great lakes. you can find videos of this on you tube. trout and bass fishermen can go years without catching a 10 pounder but when you hunt for carp, a 20 pounder is not that unusual. and they are quite edible. but bass is still my number 1 with all the moving, throwing, reeling, jigging and popping.
