Congrats
I don't know about the weight, maybe ten pounds?
Next time measure the carp's length and girth and you can calculate its weight on a site like this:

I was just carp fishing this afternoon at Spruce Run. I'll post some pics later when I make a thread about it.
Carp fishing is fun. They fight hard, and they're relatively abundant. Best of all, I'm not competing with anybody for the resource. Some evenings the entire reservoir is filled with people casting lures at the shoreline or trolling herring for bass, -but I'm the only one fishing for carp.
