Dave Lane, Paul Forward and Nick Forward were invited by Dream Africa and Great Lakes Carp Fishing Safaris for 10 days of carp fishing in sunny South Africa. Within 2½ days the guys caught 36 carp, averaging 27 lbs, with the biggest being 42 lbs. We then decided to move to another, more challenging venue to see if we could land a decent-sized mirror. The weather was perfect, the fishing great and on top of that the guys also had the opportrunity to visit the Kruger National Park to see all of the Big 5. What more could we have asked for. The DVD will be released in January 2010. Check out the promo.
