Got out again tonight with the family looking for some carp and I wasn't disappointed. My son was in the fishing mood so I let him handle the uglistick.
No more than 15 minutes at the spot and I had the first one on. My son decided that he wanted to help bring it in so he grapped on and found out that carp a a little more powerful than him!
So we got it in and it was a decent 23 1/2" with a few battle scars on her.
She decided to get back at me and kick 5 pounds of mud on me during the release. Thankfully my wife didn't have the camera.
In the next 30 minutes I got quite a few hits but couldn't get the hook set. Finally I got another one on and brought it in by myself this time. But Jacob did join me for the picture
Had a few more hits before it got dark but it was time to get the baby to sleep. It was another great evening with the family and a great way to forget about the day at work.
