Headed out to one of my local spots while the kid was at science camp today. Took the float tube out and skipped to my usual all around spinner option. I got about 3 good hits, one or two of which were probably snagged carp. Couldn't keep most on, but I had crimped the barbs. Ended up landing a nice 17" smallie and on the way out hooked what I thought at first was a small carp but turned into a good sized brown. Don't know the exact measurements since it was bigger than the scale on my stripping skirt. The scale maxes at 20" and it easily went 2 inches more. Definitely a pleasant surprise.
