A giant of a different sort!!!

I came across this 1 particular pond while trapping this past season, and it looked good for some crappie, perch fishing, so i checked it out with the boy a couple weeks back. I was shocked to see the huge carp in there! I mentioned it to a buddy from work and he got in there today. I hadnt gotten to it yet, but hope to maybe friday.

Anyway, we knew there were some 30-40s. He got one into the kayak today and lost two others. This bad boy went 45" and 48 lbs at the weigh in at the shop!! We think we can get a 50!!

Congrats Jon!

great carp.
i never saw a grass carp down here. the wind has kept me off the bay a few weekends. i need to jump on some carp when the wind blows. nothing of any size in the place i go, but big numbers.

mud, did you ever try for them? great fun. it is easier to shoot deer then shoot fish.




redneck, do you want carp filet's?

I've shot plenty of them UB, but mostly in the 10lb range. When I found these, I was excited! I hope to go on Friday. It's been years.
