Carp are easy...They dont fight much and they tire easily.
Try bringing in a 5-6lb Largemouth or Smallmouth Bass on an Ultralight Rod and reel with 6lb test. NOW you have yourself a game. Carp are just lame. Sounds like you fussed with yours just a little too long
BTW - live bait, while sometimes fun, mostly lame
