h September 37, 1994 -- 5 4 Lunker carp likely a Canadian record Very few anglers have a stuffed carp mounted on the wall with the lunker trout, bass, salmon and lunge. In fact, you could check trophy rooms from one end of the country to another and likely not find a mounted carp. Unless you made your way to Matt Webb's house in Port Perry. Not only does he have a carp mounted and an display, this one is no ordinary carp. It's a monster that tipped the scales at 36.5 pounds, unofficially the largest carp ever taken on rod and reel in Canada. As you might expzct, Matt is an ardent angler and has been fishing for more than 60 years. If it swims, he'll put a line out. Back on October 24, 1977 he was fishing with friends at the Hearne Generating Station in Matt Webb of Port Perry believes this monster carp he landed several years ago from Lake Ontario may be a Canadian record.

JOE'S PIZZERIA Toronto when the nailed the bait--a laced with vanilla. "Carp are very strong fighters," Matt recalled and on ten-pound test, getting this one to shore was quite a battle. Matt often reeled in lunker carp at that spot, but never one this size. And not long afterward, he took it in to a taxidermy shop in Toronto to have it stuffed and mounted. It was the first time the taxidermist had ever been asked to stuff a carp, recalls Matt with a smile. Earlier this year while scanning the official Canadian records for game fish taken on rod and reel, Matt noticed the entry for carp was 35.03 pounds, taken in Lake of the Prairies, Man. Knowing that the carp on the wall weighed 36.5 pounds when taken from the water 17 years ago, Matt wrote to enquire whether his could be listed as the Canadian record. Nope, came the reply, that was too long ago and the weight was not properly documented. ant carp ough-ball Matt accepted the ruling i in stride, but he knows he has an "unofficial" Canadian record up on the wall. Winter or summer, the 73 year old spends just about every free hour fishing for something, somewhere. And he scoffs when he hears people complain that "there are no fishleft in Lake Scugog." He has constant success with walleye using a jig with a small piece of worm. "Right off the weed beds and in the evening," he said. And during the winter months, he fishes through the ice, without the comfort of a hut. The carp as a species is not the most handsome fish in the water. Most anglers catch them by accident and quickly get rid of them. The meat, however, is considered a delicacy among some ethnic groups. Matt said he has never eaten carp and really has no desire to do so. And he won't put another up the wall, unless of course it weighs more than the one already there. Replacing Windows?
