So I was tossing a spinner in attempts at catching trout today on the Mighty Lynn, and after a few chub hits I cast to the back of a hole and WHAM right on the surface, this huge fish hits it like a freight train, and the fight was on!
WOW I thought this must be the mother of all browns.. if this brown is as big as it feels, I'll be making the newspaper tonight!
Then up comes old bugle lips. Whoever thinks carp are just scavengers never saw this carp hit. He ANNIHILATED the spinner, not like when they usually just suck the spinner in, this one smacked it. Awesome to see.. though I am a little disappointed it wasn't a trout.
Still great. 4lb test plus fast current made this about a 20 minute fight!
If only my camera crew had accompanied me to catch that hit.
