10 Foot Fishing Pole In A 20 Foot Boat (Carp Fishing)

Are they to long for my boat? In this video I am exploring a section of river that is known for trout. I have see lots of Carp here before in the the past and after a little fishing I found them! I think I spooked most of the Carp as it was a very tough bite. Maybe I will be more stealthy when I come back here! At least I was able to catch a nice Carp using my homemade pack bait!
