Just out of curiosity, did you catch that carp off of a chovy? It's only happened twice on my fishing trips to Mead but I was under the impression that they were vegetarians. They like the dough bait and banana or bread but not chovies.
It's weird because on a few of my houseboat trips, we'll chum chovies, and a school of huge carp show up. I'm talking 5-10 lb carps. Since I fish at night, I freak out when I see their silhouettes under the water because initially, I think they're big stripers. Instead, they're just a school of big, nasty carps. I'll have to create a new post and see if anyone knows why carps show up when you're chumming chovies. Anyway, sounds like you had a good trip. Take care.
Best regards,
Paul
