How to Сatch a Carp? Exhaust the Fish Method
-
Let out as much line as possible after the initial strike and pull. The fish will be off guard and thus easier to pull in.
-
Reel in slowly and steadily. These fish will pull back hard if they feel threatened. As the fish tires, move the tip of your rod back and forth. This may seem unorthodox, but the fish will lose it's ability to thrash with all it's fins.
-
Remember that if no net is available, do not grab the carp by the lip as you would a bass. this is difficult and could tear the jaw of the fish. Put one hand under the fish in front of the tail, and one between the head and stomach. Hold it firmly, but do not squeeze. If it's a catfish, you may have to go in to the water and haul it out whole.
