My Sis and I hit up the 24hr fishing. Normally id have probably gone fishing somewhere else, but we didnt arrive till after 7pm so the other place just wasnt an option with their closing time being so early (12am).
Started at the back of the lake. Started getting hits right away but we were only able to get one to stick. Next we moved over off of JD's Point. Again we started getting bites and were able to scratch 2 more.
at about 10:45pm we headed in to the tackle shop 2 pick up a few things. I beached my boat next to the boat dock. Before heading up the hill I decided to throw 1 of my rigs out. So we handled our business at the tackle shop. On the way back down the hill I passed a couple of guys who were on their way up the hill and had just turned in a rental. When I got to my boat I noticed my line was pulled tight in the opposite direction right at the boat dock. I figured the guys that had just turned in the rental had ran over my line. I started trying to reel it in when I felt a huge tug at the other end of the line. I fought the thing for a couple mins. My Sis isnt the best net gal yet so it took a few failed attempts before finally getting the beast netted.
I knew I had a DD fish. I cut the line long and took the fish up the hill still in the net to weigh-in. When I got to the top of the hill there was a crowd of peeps that were on their way out. I put the fish on the ground next to the scale and took it out of the net. Only then did I realize, it's a carp! Weighed in at 13.10 lbs. Here is a pic.

After weighing the fish in we headed back out by the group of boats anchored off shore by the boat dock. Didnt get any bites so we pulled anchor and moved over by the launch ramp. Picked up our 4th cat of the night. Around 2am we decided to call it a night.
