went fishing twice today. the first session ended with many disapointments. first my rods got all tangled up on the bike ride to the lake. then i hooked up to a big carp but it broke off when my line got angled aroung the tip of the pole. so i tie on another fly and walk down the shoreline some more. seen another good carp got a solid hookset. he tore into my backing and then my line went limp. another line break!!! i decided to go home and go back tommorow. then 1 hour after i get home my friend calls and asks me to go fishing. and i said yes i can never turn down a fishing trip. so i bike down to the lake. and waited for him to show up. i started fishing 1/2 an hour passed and he didnt show up. so i said i guess he's not coming. i stayed and fished though and i was rewarded with 2 fish. i walked along the shore line and noticed 2 logs that looked like a good spot. when i got to it i noticed 3 tails. i dropped my fly where they were headed and got a solid hookset. after 7 minutes fight around the 2 logs. i finally was able to bring her close to shore and grab her. a nice thick female. pic.
after about another 1/2 hour i started hearing pops. pop pop pop . i walked along the shoreline to find out what it was. i had never heard anything like it before. and before i knew it it sounded like i was right on top of it. i looked in the water and seen a huge carp eating against the shore. (it drops right down to 2 feet. so its just like a wall) i dropped my fly right in front of it. it turned and ignored it and began feeding again. i put it in front of it again... and it took it!!! after 1/2 hour fight over cattails going up and down the shoreline i grabbed her. she was a long thick female. i just sat there holding her and admiring her huge bronze scales for the longest time. then a girl who worked for the local park department who was cutting the grass along the shoreline and seen the fight came down and volunteered to take the picture. this carp is a new pb by a long shot. the last one i got was not even close to this heavy. i think this one is again around 2 pounds heavier than my previous pb!!! pic of her
