fatherof3 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 After last night this is all I was thinking about.I had an hour to kill this morning so went back down.After all the baiting of the area figured I might have a shot.I almost left home without my camera and man am I glad I went back and got it.I was down there and 3rd cast I get a solid hit and fish on.Fight it for a bit and line snaps! Here we go again I figure.I did put heavier line on but drag was too tight.I set up again and soon get another hit.No way am I going to lose this one.Here is the proof! I was by myself with no scale or tape so the only thing I could think of was to use my foot(size 11) for comparison.Very next cast this guy decides to hit. He put up quite the fight for his size with a few good runs.By this time I am really having fun.I cast out again and wait but nothing.I bait the area some more for later and cast out one last time before I head home. Just as I am about to give up and go home I get another solid hit.This one takes off for the other side of the river in one big run as I just hold on. The next thing I now the rod eases up and no more pulling. Great,I lost him I think as I start to real in. All of a sudden I catch up to the fish,who is still on as he is charging at me!The fight is back on and after a couple more runs bring him in. So,after losing 3 last night I go 3/4 in an hour.I am quite happy right now and can't wait to show the kids the pics and get back there again.Here is one more pic for now.

MJL Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Congrats on that! You've managed to catch a beauty mirror carp. Just as rare as a sober Irishman if you ask me. WTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Beauty mirror carp!! I have yet to catch one of those. Carp are a lot of fun...it's a great way to learn how to fight a big fish. The learning from carp fishing will take you into other even harder fighting fish...and make you more confident in landing them. Great report and pics....great job out there!
