John, I think you're just trying to yank my chain on this, but you obviously don't know what you're talking about (again.)

Since you're in Illinois, you should check out these carp guys. There is nothing unsophisticated about what they do:

You could watch one of their matches or, better yet, actually fish against them in a match. If you choose the latter, you will finish dead last. I guarantee it.

You could also check out the tackle and tactics of the Illinois CAG. They are planning their 2008 fish-in's as I type:

BTW, if you fish against those guys, you will also finish dead last.
