New State Record

[Blackhawk]

A hunting buddy of mine from South Dakota just sent me a pic of his son, Logan Fontenelle, who just claimed the new South Dakota state record for carp.  

I know there are bigger carp out there in other states, but...

This beast weighed 42 lbs. 14 oz. and beat the old SD record of 37.7 lbs.  The carp, 42 inches long and with a girth of 28 inches, was taken with a traditional recurve on May 11.

Can anyone guess the make/model of bow?

HOKIE SMOKES That Is One HUGE CARP!! CONGRATS for the Record!!
 Now What? Do ya eat the"Vacuum WATER Sucker?" Or Plant it in the Garden for Good Soil?

Sure is big.  You could probably make about 40 carp pies with that thing.

Wow what a fish.  Don't know about the bow but I do see that he messed up a perfectly good AC/DC sweatshirt....

[Blackhawk]

Leo L., where would you like me to send your pie?

Just guessing it looks like a Martin Hunter...that's a big carp,Congrats to him..

[DeerSpotter]

Now South Dakota, should pay him, to have that carp, mounted and put on display.  And that in itself would be a first also.

Because I've never seen a carp mounted !

The carp that hang out at the Sheboygan power plant on Lake Michigan would eat that guppy for lunch!!!

I believe the world record is near 87# and was caught in Europe.

Looks like a Martin Mamba.
