BCN Contributor – John Finney – 2014’s Top Seven
by Big Carp News Team.

As we step into 2015 it is time we show off some of the stunning captures from each Big Carp News Contributor over the past year.

Our first contributor is John Finney of CarpQuest.

Photo #1 June is TAKC “Take a Kid Carping” month. Each year John honors this event and in 2014 had the privilege to take Casey, Brittany and their 4 yr old son, Brayden, out carp fishing for their first time. Casey had written to John and asked if he would take his son out fishing so he could see a carp, up close and personal. Looks like John got the job done.

Of all his captures during the past year, John considers this one to be the most memorable and important, it was not a huge specimen, instead, it was simply, for Brayden!
