Got the call from TB and I could hear he had the bug,,,, He told me one of the local city park lakes just had a fresh plant and was eager to hook up on some fine full tail alpers.. Said he just bought a bag of berkeley power mice and just KNEW it was going to go down tonight....
I said hold on there big feller, I've got a better idea. Why don't you lay your sissy stick with 2lb spooled up and grab your real men gear and meet me out for some late afternoon topwata fishing..
Alright, lets go, he says..
I meet him around 345 and instantly I hook up on a 4 lb class green carp on the 128, I throw him in the bushes and attempt to get the foul scent and slime off my lure before the next cast. BOOM 3 lb Green Carp... WTH?? Throw him in the bushes too and change my bait cause this wet paper bag fighting fish are thick tonight... As I'm changing to the TW, TB yells from down the bank.. MIKE!!!! BIGGGGGGGGGGUUUUUNNNN!!!!!
I grab my rod and make casts around TB's fish hoping there is a chaser {ole BB trick that works a bunch with these stripers that are schoolin}
TB gets 3 or 4 big runs from this fish and the drag stops!!! TB says "oh darn",,,, he had a birdsnest or something bury his line under itself and got in a bind.. So down the bank he runs!!!
Few mins later and a very awkward landing... we get her on the bank...
You guess the weight, we know that we know it was a DD... Call it a 11?, call it a 14? We don't care because we released her with very specific orders to munch on EVERY green carp she sees from this point forward, or we will be back, we will make tacos out of her if she doesn't thin out the foul Green Carp in our pristine Striper waters, because that invasive fish will not be tolerated!!!!!
Keep in mind I'm taking a very size reducing pic to avoid spot burning this, well "spot"..... Pic doesn't do it justice
Fish was caught on Hiro's B71 topwater lure... Full disclosure, as I as well as TB were given one apiece by Hiro. These baits rock! Best Topwater bait I've fished in ease of walk the dog, and has a great glide from side to side.... No BS/scam gimmick selling here... That lure is EASY to walk the dog and catches fish... for whatever you take my word for, good or bad? I cannot say enough about it
