New Carp Record for South Africa?
So what do you think about the New South African Specimen carp record? See the bank angler cover at the bottom of the OP homepage.	[ VIEW LAST POST ]
RE: New Carp Record for South Africa?
dont think its 65lb.... But if you have nine weeks to fish with 16 rods you should atleast catch something like that...
Its a very big fish, so good catch Martin. But doesnt look like the venue that I've heard it came from though...would like to inspect the photo up close..."wink-wink".Yep, you get guys who have tons of money and lots of time to fish for weeks on end, and then you have us normall guys who have very limited time and money. Weekend warriors.And, in carp fishing, time at the bank makes a huge difference. So us weekend warriors will have to work alot harder to get anything big, because we have little time to get it right. I envy those who have all the time in the world....hehehe.Thats life hey, lol!
Nice fish under any circumstances.Its just funny that wherever I read anything by Martin Louw, he never mentions fishing 4 pods.Great for him its an awesome fish but I wont see it in the same light as what I would If a "Normal" guy caught it.
Johann,It is literally as RenRew said. he makes up his mind what he wants to catch and then he sits there until he does.Nine weeks with 16 odd rods. Imagine the combinations and the experiments one can do in that time.Ok lets see what happens if we leave a kaboom lie for 10 days. LOLBut then i guess thats why he has the record now hey.I suspect everything that might get said here is going to sound like sour grapes or jealousy.So......Congratulations on a great Fish Martin.You put in the time and the effort and now you have reaped the rewards.Kudo's to you buddy.Welldone!!!!!!!
Dont get me wrong its a great fish and he puts in the effort, I just think fishing 16 rods defies the point?
I saw martin fish at lake X and saw all the rods... But still he got this fish and congrats on that(doubt he ever comes on here)....
Ek wil iets se, maar ek sal eers die artikel lees voor ek dit se..............
Read the article and then come give us your opinion.

Sorry but is this the same Martin Louw who claimed the record last time with that doctored fish?M
well done to martin, i wish i had the time to do the same, i have not read the article but i have also had reports on his captures and 65lb never came up, i must be honest, unless the fish was taken after my contacts have left??? a big fish none the less, and congrats are in order
Julle kan my maar stenig as julle wil, maar 16 stokke.........? Hy kon net sowel 'n net geleep het!! (of dalk het net 4 van hulle hoeke aan gehad......?)Wat het geword van "ethics", of hoef sekere spesiehengelaars nie die wet te gehoorsaam nie?Ek glo nie hy behoort aanspraak te kan maak op die rekord nie. In ander sportsoorte word jou prestasie geskrap as dit uitkom dat jy nie by die reels hou nie. Wat maak sy geval anders?? Sorry maar ek kan en sal hom nie geluk wens nie! Nee wat Martin, gaan sit maar weer vir 9 weke by daai water, maar gebruik diekeer net 4 stokke (of 3) soos die meeste ouens. Dalk dan sal ek vir jou respek he....... REPLY #12
16 stokke ???? Nee dis veregaande. REPLY #13
Hi Nodger, Ek is nuut op die specimen visvang metode en ekt al my ou takle in geruil op pods nuwe stokke ens. Wat my vraag is, is die ''wet'' van specimen hengelaars. Is daar n ''wet/rug lyne'' en in dien daar so iets is wat behels dit alles? As daar enige iemand is wat kan help !? 16 stokke... ummm bietjie over doing it, maar baie geluk ek sal nie om gee om met so vis te spog nie!!!!!!
Hi KoosAs 'n spesie hengelaar is daar geen 'wet' wat jou kan dwing wat om te doen of nie te doen nie.Ons het wel 'n etiese kode waarvolgens ons optree,en elke man is self verantwoordelik vir die nakom van hierdie kode.Om meer inligting hieroor te kry kan jy die vlg gaan lees:1)www.sacarpsociety.co.za,kliek op 'about us' en lees die "code of conduct".Al die inligting op die site is eintlik relevant.2)Onder "Freshwater" hier op OP is 'n hele paar artikels deur Gilbert Foxcroft en John Dearden wat handel oor spesie hengel,daaruit sal jy ook kan aflei hoe 'n spesiehengelaar hom behoort te gedra.3)As jy 'n forum search doen met die keyword "ethics",is daar ook 'n hele klomp posts wat baie inligting bevat ivm jou vraag.Hoop dit help,welkom op OP!
Hi Boesman,Dankie vir die inligting, ek sal dit verseker gaan oplees. Nou sien ek hoekom almal van OP se forum praat!Dankie Koos

I read the inset by him now, and I think instead of the usual critisizing here, ppl need to give this guy a break. He will be submitting articles about specimen carp fishing in the next few issues, so he is doing his bit for the sport. So what if he fishes with x amount of rods. I cant imagine it being easy fishing for 9 weeks, with many rods.... and it gives us an idea of how difficult it is at those dams to get a 60! I'm looking forward to his articles. And it'll be nice to see some of his catches.
dagse, ek hengel meer die klein soort 1.4i vissies vir komp en het al 1KEER saam met Ants, v6 3.0L specimen karpe gehengel en het dit Baie geniet!!! Ek haal my hoed af vir Martin. Hy wou sy droom beryk op die manier wat hom die meeste plesier verskaf! Geluk man! EK sal se hengel soos jy wil solank ons net nie skade doen aan ons ekologie nie!!!Die vis wat my die meeste plesier verskaf is die 4.5L turbo aangejaagte rivier baber!HOU DIE BLINK KANT BO!
