View Full Version : Double Digit........
But of the wrong kind!!!!! I was swimming a Storm "swimbait" about 2 foot under the surface in 5 foot deep water when this giant carp hit. I was convinced that I had a double digit LMB. You can hear me yelled: "HOOOOKed UPPP" from accross the lake to my friends.
Anyway, it was a very good fight on 8lb line and the fish was kinda pretty. It sucked in my swimbait. I did NOT snag this fish.

Man that is one healthy looking carp. Nice job dude! Personally A carp of that size is better fighting than a LMB of that size.

that is a healthy looking beast, but i've got to see the LMB you tussled with that was that size. it would have to be pushing 20lbs if not more.

Excellent! Thats one healthy beast you got. Always good to catch something you didnt plan on. N/J on 8lb.

It was probably a bummer when you realized it wasn't a bass.... Carp are pretty fun to catch though

Yes, a little but this isn't the first time. Last year, while yo-yoing a rattle trap, I snagged a carp, maybe 10lbs or so, in the tail. It was after dark, and it jumped liked a missle making a giant splash.
I was convinced that I hooked that fish of a lifetime when he just peeled line off for some 15 seconds. After 3 minutes or so, I realized that there aint no bass that strong that was hooked properly. By this time, the fish was a good 75 yards away, still pulling drag on 10lb line. It reminds me of a foul hooked barracuda that has the whole boat screamming: " Yellowtail".
Thanks to all with comments and kind words.
