the other evening i was trolling for some walleye and doing well we ended up getting 17 walleye, a smallmouth bass, a small musky and a fat carp...
ive had some accidental carp catches before... but not surprising ones... you know... hook and worm fishing or jig and a worm... etc...
this is twice ive had one of these beasts strike a moving bait
the first time i was bottom bouncing a spinner in 60 feet of water and i thought i had a record walleye on cause i saw the GOLDEN beast about 30-40 feet away... boy was i disapointed to see those big rubber lips emerge from under the boat...
the second time was last week... trolling cranks for walleye and when i felt the weight i though i had a famouse st.lawrence musky... but as the figh went on... it wasnt fighting like a ski... so again i start thinkin giant walleye... then we see her... a 22 lb carp with my taildancer hanging out of its mouth, not a snagged fish, he hit a crank moving 2mph against 3mph current... i was again blown away
anybody else have this happen... not the hook and worm type scenerio... moving baits?
