Is there another post on the subject?

I'm thinking a smallie in 4kg range will come out in the next few years.

Reason = Carp (sad but true)

These fish breed prolific and thus there is a lot of bait fish for the bass to chow. Secondly they destroy the bass nests which means less bass but larger ones because of the decrease in intraspecific competition. Short term this is good news but in the long term...?

The Carp has been there for atleast the past 5 years (probably much longer). Its only now that their population density has reached such numbers that they are influencing the system. Next time go make a cast with some mielies and see for yourself.

Kill Carp...thats an irresponsable statement...well then kill the bass as well...dont be stupid now. I realise its a pitty that another exotic species has been introduced to Clan...but thats a totaly different story!

Where you coming from? The clanwilliam dam is home of the elusive clanwillaim yellows. I 'm also for the killing of carp in the olifants system.

ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT ILEGALY THROW ALLAIN FISH SPESCIS IN RIVER SYSTEMS THEY DONT BELONG!!!:fbash

One of the most intelligent freshwater species is also one of the most detrimental to sensitive systems were they have been introduced. The olifants system harbors both Clan yellows, sawfin, clan sandfish, various redfin and other endemics to the system. These fish are all on the IUCN red data species list so please just get all your facts before you foice your opinion. The introduction of bass was already a big mistake yet carp may have a catastrophic effect.

Just some confirmation on this. As far as I know it has not been registered as the official SA Smallie record. There are a number of requirements needed for registering an SA record and one is to be a member of SABAA. But I really hope they do register it. Because the Junior SA Smallie Record is 2.4kg’s and the Smallie record is 3.41kg

Unfortunately it does not work that way. I also agree it blows. About a year or so ago a guy got a fish at Midmar that broke the current largemouth bass record. But he was not a SABAA member.

So yes unofficially he has the new SA record but according to paper he does not
