Why is carp fishing so addicting? What makes this type of fishing so great? Is it the carp? Is it because this fish can get to monster weights? Is it because carp fishing is one of the best types of fishing? Could be, but then again, some people may disagree and could say that peacock bass fishing or pike fishing is the best. It all comes down to what one likes. In the end, at least for, carp fishing is the only way to go.

If you ever were fishing for carp, then you know that you could be fishing for hours and not even realize that it's late and you must return home. Haven't you ever wondered, when you were fishing and being all wet from your boots up, what you were doing there? But let's actually see what makes it so great.

The carp fishing experts know that these fish have an intelligence or their own and most of them have learned how to spot different types of rigs, and simply avoid them. So if you do not know what you are doing, you may as well end up with a lost day in which you won't catch anything. So, this becomes more than just fishing, it becomes an all out war, in which you must catch the fish and he must catch on that you want to catch him and avoid you traps.

This is probably one of the reasons why carp fishing has become such a great hobby for many people. You have to beat a worthy adversary. It's that sense of competition that makes us all want to win and beat the opponent. Many people put names to the carps they manage to catch and set them back in the water. For many fishermen, it's not about eating the fish, as they often release it, it's about that simple moment when they catch "Lou" or "Jack", that elusive carp. It's that moment that makes carp fishing so great.

Another reason why carp fishing is great is the fighting spirit that the carp has. The moment when you have it down the line, you would better be careful as it may slip away in a blink of an eye and leave you hanging, wondering what just happened. The carp is one fighting fish that never gives up. It will even try to get away while in your boat, and there are people that have lost their 40lb carps because they didn't pay attention to them for a couple of seconds. So, be careful next time you manage to catch a carp as the match is not yet over.

And a last thing (or this could be the first on some people's list) is the fact that when fishing for carp, you can also talk to a couple of friends and brag about the last 100lb carp that got away... A little barbeque by the lake where you have your rods can be the most beautiful and relaxing thing for some people. Being in the middle of the nature, hanging out with some friends and eating a fried carp, what could be better than carp fishing?
