My biggiest was about 12 pounds and it was caught on a fly rod. We were cumming the carp with white bread. I tyied a white marabou fly earlier that day. I casted my fly among the white bread and hooked one. It was a nice fight. It was caught in one of Floridas canals in Pembrook Pines Behind a friends house. It was the only Carp I caught on Fly rod. Caught a few on regular gear. I really never got into it, especially with tarpon an peacock bass all around.
