[cool][#0000ff]Thanks. It was a fun day. The official count was 3 on minnows, 1 on a strip of white bass meat and 1 on carp meat. The one on carp meat was my biggest. Attached is a pic with incriminating evidence hanging from its jaws.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The only problem while using the carp meat was the swarms of white bass that kept picking at it. Lots of "pop and drop" hits to keep me nervous. But, when big mama hit, there was no question. WHAM and ZIP...the line smoked off the reel and when I hauled back on the rod to set the hook, the rod tip just stayed there and line kept running off the drag. Yeeee Hawww. Took me over ten minutes to bring her in...with the chunk of carp meat still protruding from her big mouth.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I didn't even start using carp meat until about the last hour. I am sure that I would have caught other fish if I had started earlier. I still have a good supply of "prime carp" strips. I better use them up so I have a good excuse to bring out the bow again next spring. Gonna join me?[/#0000ff]
