BIG FISH 2-11

Hit the ponds today with a P&G to no avail.  Then went back to the house and rigged up a silver buddy.  Pounded Pavilion with it for over an hour only to get one BG.  Decided to make one last cast.  About 3 jigs back and WHAM smile .  Knew I had snagged one of those grass carp.  Only had 6-lb test sad .  After about 40 minutes of trying to get line back in......it was tired.  A lady walked up just as I was getting it out of the water and she was kind enough to take a pic on my phone.  Could hardly pick it up and estimated it to be 40-45 lbs......pic does not show how thick the shoulders were....about 7-8"  Returned to the water to be snagged again big_smile .  Oh yeah......that is my blood from the sharp gill plate sad

That must have been an exhilarating fight on 6lb test! Great job on landing that beast!


Together we'll fight the long defeat.

That's awesome! I didn't know they had a sharp gill plate, that's good info to know. Any other sharp parts on them?
