Fishing for absolutely big carp

Fishing for carp is always fun, but fishing for absolutely big carp is unique! Now, I know you're all wondering what an absolutely big carp actually is, so I will tell you.
Sometimes (most times) when I hook a fish I tend to get rather excited and start tripping over my tongue, which can lead to a slight exaggeration in the size of the fish.
In this video I was going to call it an absolutely huge carp, but at the last minute realised that in the grand scheme of things, a carp of around 50cm and 2kg probably isn't absolutely huge, and not doubt I would get laughed at for saying that, so I downgraded my prognosis from absolutely huge carp, to absolutely big carp. LOL I literally tripped over my words...and then I ran with the catch phrase throughout the rest of the video.....as you do!
Carp are a noxious pest species here in Australia, and fishing for them is underrated. More and more these days, fisherman are recognizing the potential of the European carp as a sportfishing option.
We all love to catch Murray cod, because they're edible. But what do we do when we catch them...we release them and don't eat them anyway. So what sets them apart from the carp as a sport fish?
Murray cod hit hard and bite hard, but are not great fighters unless you catch a monster. Carp on the other hand, pound for pound pull much harder than a Murray cod.
Carp fishing is very popular with the kids, and is also something that I thoroughly enjoy.
In fact, I carry a few tins or sweet corn kernels around in the back of my car at all times for when I drive past a likely looking carp fishing creek or lagoon, so that I can pull up and get a carp fix on any given day.
Carp fishing is great fun for the kids, and a fantastic way for people to hone their fishing skills.
