July 3rd - 4th fishing

went fishing with my friend cody for the past 3 days. here are the stories of each day:

July 3rd-
Today i took Cody out to get his first carp. all day it looked like it could start raining any second. but it didnt. when we got down to the lake i immediatly had him get down and i pointed to the water. there was swirls from gulping carp everywhere. vthere must have been over 50 gulping. i told him to try and get down to the cat tails but avoid all the goose poop. he mad his way down to the cattails and i stood pretty far away watching with my polarized sunglasses. he almost immediatly had a nice carp on. he battled it for a while before i was able ho get the net onto her. here she is!!! his first carp and a nice one to boot!!!

we got a few more carp that day but not may. and they were small.
so we went down on a bike trail and caught a few bass.

July 4th-
today i went to codys house and we went down to a lake about 300 feet from his house. we were going for bass. we caught alot but none of any real good size. 1lb max. then later cody went home and i caught a few more bass then i seen a bowfin!!! a nice one too!!! i casted my worm she shot at it and missed. i recasted she hit it again. but i set it too soon and it came out of her mouth. i recasted. this time she got it and the fight was on i got her close enought to shore so i was able to grab her. then i put her in my trailer and took her to up[ to cody's house to get her pic taken. she was 25 inches long and 13inches in girth and according to the weight table on bowfin anglers group she would weig 6.1 lbs. pic of her with the tuler
