          Larisa first got into fishing three years ago, spending weekends by the water with friends. What began as a simple ambition to prove to her friends that she could catch a big fish quickly grew into a genuine passion. Over the years, she has developed a deep love for the patience, focus, and excitement that angling brings.
These days, Larisa spends most of her fishing time on local rivers, canals, and lakes, always seeking new challenges and opportunities to improve her skills. Her current goal is to consistently target larger carp and refine her approach, from bait presentation to watercraft, ensuring that every session teaches her something new.
One of her greatest memories on the bank was landing her personal best carp after a long, tough session. She’ll never forget the adrenaline rush as the rod bent over, the fight that seemed to last forever, and the exhilarating moment when that incredible fish finally slipped into the net. Moments like these are a powerful reminder of why Larisa fishes the perfect blend of challenge, reward, and the deep connection with nature.
For Larisa, fishing is more than just a hobby; it’s a way to clear her head, set meaningful goals, and create memories that last a lifetime.
