carp fishing


My grandfather was the first person to ever take me carp fishing and for that I love him dearly. While in the car filled with excitement about my first day as a carp fishing enthusiast he would tell me all kinds of stories about his carp fishing years and about some of the most interesting people he’s met while in the carp hunt. For just that moment, I felt like a gown up, I mean, here I was on my way to do some real man carp fishing and hanging with my grandpa talking as if we were equals. I was just a little kid, but my grandfather had the incredible ability of making me feel like a giant whenever I was in his presence. When we arrived at his favorite carp fishing spot, all I could think about was how long it would take me to catch my first and how big it would be. In my mind it would have been totally awesome and my first test of manhood if I could take a photograph with a large carp in my hands with my grandfather right beside me. Well, that little boys’ dream came true about two hours into our carp fishing session and my grandpa could not have been more proud.
