HA!!!
Tompton, my brother...looks like I found myself another "golden bone" fan!  Carp are, without a doubt, the hardest fightin', meanest SOBs on the block.  I chase them pretty frequently.  It doesn't hurt that I have some good backwater (when the water's low) just down my bank on the ol' St. Croix.
I posted a pic of my kid w/ his first fly rod carp in the gallery...too fun!
Your pic is outstanding!  What a horse!

I know, they are one of my favorite too.  My goal this year is to catch one on a fly rod.  I have heard that it is a lot more difficult. 
We used to chum the water with bread and when they'd show up we'd hook on some bread and catch them topwater.  Nothing like hooking a carp 8 feet away from where you're standing and in about 3 seconds about to run out of line.

LOL!   Yeah, they can find your backing pretty damn quick, can't they?!
Anders hooked one last year that shot out of the backwaters and got into the main current...the reel was screaming and I honestly thought the gear would burn up.  NO way to stop that thing, musta been a 20+#er.  I just grabbed the fly line and pointed the rod tip downstream till the leader snapped. :-\  Would like to have seen it.
