Fashion Fish!!!

Making the greatest carp fishing magazine in Europe is no mean feat, but thats what we are doing here inside CARPdiem…
This does involve bringing new life, ideas and injecting fresh energy into our work. Being surrounded by nature in pure form i.e the wild Iberian Peninsular helps.

Spain is known for it’s wildlife and now she’s soon becoming the new proper center for Carp fishing in Europe. Famous in the past for it’s fiesta, now you can have both, and that’s something we like to have, mix up and maintain within the walls of CARPdiem.

In our recent photo shoot you can see the mix is alive and fishing! During this moment of joy, we encouraged change and developed the younger promoting experimentation and advancement. Fashion met fishing and a colorful collision occured. We did this shoot models and all, last week or was it the weekend before? Joining forces with the mutants and people from Viceland Spain. The day of fishing and photography could not have gone any better. I gave up count of how many fish caught after about 15. It was perfect as the models, the stylist the coordinator, camera man and his dog caught fish.

I also managed to make friends with some monsters from the lake too, who after a bag of boilies directed me to a specimen Cruician Carp or maybe a Carassius auratus gibelio, Silver Crucian. This fish came as something of a shock as no-one knew they swam in this particular lake close to Madrid. In the photo above you can see the mutant monster behind me, at this time he was not happy, because the greedy Crucian chomped up some of his bait! Just look at the belly on that fish, and the head on that monster!! The Crucian Carp was all of 5lb2oz which makes him a grand size bigger than the UK record and a new p.b for me! I cannot say if he is a true Crucian, maybe he is some kind of hybrid, either way, he was returned to the water safe and sound and I am told that Crucian and the monster are getting on fine drinking Rum and Coke down in swampville!
This double bellied collision – Vice and CARPdiem means that readers get to see some cracking photos inside our magazine and within the September issue of Vice Mag. That’s two for one, as good as recycling or properly what you might might call – effective photography ‘fashion and fish’…

Check CARPdiem out next week in Spain and Portugal for some of the best fished up fashion outside of your Bivy!
