The funny thing about the carp. In Europe, especilally Eastern, carp fishers are the top of the elite. Their gear is most expensive, their fishing session costs more then your season does. Catching a trophy carp is the biggest challenge of all cause they are so rare and sophisticated. I could tell you way too more but you're not going to believe my words unless you see it by yourself.

[@Fishman2114]

@@4493005 Believe it or not I have seen that side of your guys’ carp fishing and it is pretty intense. Here in America they are pretty common so most people who fish them end up being rednecks who wanna chill back with a beer 😂

[@sprolyborn2554]

The difficulty in catching large carp in Europe comes from the insane pressure they get put under. I wouldn't call them particularly rare considering you guys sometimes even name the big fish in a particular pond and that same fish has been caught by a dozen or more people before you. Getting THAT fish to bite again is where the challenge is.

[@qLego_]

As a German I agree except for the rareness in Germany they are not really „rare“.

[@avalanche816]

Sorry buddy as a European, carp fishers are not regarded as elite, they're regarded as obsessive, boring and inactive. Catching the biggest goldfish of your life after 2 days of sitting down looking at your expensive gear? Spey casting for Salmon is widely regarded as elite
