Well Dave, the creek was flooded, so no trout for me this week, but... hee hee!!!!!! I get to add a few more inches.. I caught the biggest carp yet for me! 31 inches and 15 pounds of gorgeous carp! MAN, I love fighting those fish!!!!
This is how it happened... maybe it won't be allowed. My Step mother in law had a line in the water, and she was holding the rod when the carp took the bait (a bagel piece) When she felt it's size, she gave me the rod and said "HERE, you bring it in!!" We have a few pictures of the fight between me and creek carp! I think this was the one that tried to kill me earlier this year!
I caught 2 carp this weekend, this was the second one! Dang, it felt good!!!!! Celeste was helping me here!
