So I met up with another BFT member, PSoup, his brother, and his dad. We fished from like 4:30 till dark. So at the start, we were getting tons of bites(we were using both worms and sucker). Most bites weren't good enough to do anything with but then finally I caught a 13 or so inch carp 
. Well he swam to some branches and got it all tangled up. In the midst of branches, there's some stupid like 4 or so foot strand of barbed wire that its tangled against. Anyway, all I remember is having to walk in to the branches to get the fish unstuck, and somehow in this process the hook got off of the fish and somehow got completely stuck in my thumb.
So yeah, I bit the line so I didn't have to hunch forward where I was stuck and walked to shore with the hook completely in my thumb. Luckly PSoup's dad was a doctor and pushed it out the other way. It hurt really bad but his dad did an amazing job and there's only two hoes in my thumb. I still have the sensation of having a hook in my thumb but it could be worse. Going to the doctor tomorrow to get a tetanus shot!
Anyway, after that incident, the Carp became a victim for bait fish. Shortly after, Psoup's brother caught another carp basically the size of mine. That one got to continue swimming for another day. Right after that Psoup's dad had a HUGE something (probably carp or sucker) on. unfortunately this 1 was much bigger and swam to an even bigger stick area than where mine went so we never got to see it. So we found the money hole right? WRONG. We wasted another half hour there with little to no bites.
So we walk down to another spot and get some bites but they were nothing like the short period we experienced at the previous hole. we wasted time there before heading back to our original hole. This time we could see fish jumping everywhere but they sure weren't finding our poles. We wasted 30 or so mins there before going to 1 last hole. At the last hole there wasn't much action except when Psoup was away, his pole litterally slammed and came out of its pole holder into the river. It almost swamp to deep to get it, but he was able to get it but unfortunately the fish was gone by the time it got back.
Psoup blew his one chance! Haha but seriously, that was the worst fishing I can remember. 2 fish total using both worms and sucker/carp meat? Pathetic! Those fish weren't hungry or something. Oh well, Jeremy Wade goes through many struggles before finding the river monster he wants!
