Fishing break while on work trip 7-28
Away from home on a work trip and got 2 hrs of fishing in today. Three little dinks and this 19 lb carp that took a bloodworm! 
Oh yeah.....elbow bent and not holding it out towards the camera. 
Hell or High Water...........I'm Fishin!!

Outstanding....I wish we had them in our lakes instead of the grass carp.
Time to go fishin' again!

Caught it on my medium action bass rod. Good thing I had 20 lb braid on it. Drag squealed during 5 big runs. In the beginning.......wondered if I was going to turn it before I got spooled! It was all that rod could handle .

I know I would target them....if I knew how....hopefully with artificial bait and definitely with a fly.

Nice!!! I've only done it a few times, but I need to get back to catching some carp!
Together we'll fight the long defeat.

Nice fish.
Potomac has a bunch of huge carp if you're into them. I've snacked beasts with senko's & tubes. Just look for long slack pools

That's a good looking fish George!
Can I assume the baits were in the 2-3" variety?

It would be awesome if there were common carp in the AV lakes. Kids would have pullage of a lifetime!!
