nautifish Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) Well after finishing work at 6.00pm popped home to let the dogs out too pee quickly...lol...Grabbed a pop and headed straight down to the peir. Got theyre for around 6.30pm. Grabbed my rod baited her with some fresh corn. Had my line in all of five minutes if that when BAM!! Something hit hard.......My rod bent and the line peeled off yet again but not for too long. At 1st i thought this fish was going to be smaller...YEAH RIGHT!!....LOL.....THIS FISH PUT ON ONE HELL OF A SCRAP. I probably spent half hr if not longer trying to get this beauty to the wall. It was probably close to 20 minutes before this fish even surfaced. By this time i had quite the Audience.....lol....A very kind gentleman took the camera from my NETBOY mr sinns....lol....as he got down the ladder to net this monster. Two other guys actually had hold of him by the shoulders so he would not fall in when he finally got the fish in the net.....lol....This fish was so blooming big it actually bent the pole on our net.....lol......When i finally landed the fish as i said i had quite the Audience by this time & everyone started to clap.....lol...That was a 1st for me....lol... I am guessing as well as a few others who were they're this fish was for sure close to 30lbs...The head on this fish was huge...It was bigger than my carp i caught last night thats for sure. By the time i finally landed this brute i thought my right arm was going to fall off.......lol I do have a video but am having problems with one of the clips downloading for some reason . I am really hopeing someone can resolve this for me because the clip i am having problems with is when i landed the fish. So fingers crossed i get this video clip issue resolved..... Nauti.

Victor Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Congrats on the PB once again! Wow that was quick . How good can it get when you hook this big girl after dropping your rig for 5 minutes!! Just a tip I've learned from fellow carpers, when lifting these big fish out of the water in the net, instead of bringing them up using the net handle, point the net handle towards the sky and lift up. Use your knees to lift instead of your back. I think this way it will be much easier on the net-person and the net. MJL has offered to give me free carp weights if i french kiss a carp the next time we go out ... hmm ... it isn't so bad after all eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay i would never french kiss a carp but i don't mind the quick little peck .....lol....There is a limit you know and tonsil tickling a carp is one of them... ...lol As for the net victor yes i know but if and when you see the video you will see why it bent. Now the part that extends will not slide in and out as easily anymore on the Handle. I need a bigger one anyway so i am not sweating it. Hopefully i will be out again this evening see if i can get even bigger.......We have a spot here in dover where they come into spawn and they come in real thick. When you watch them from off shore you would allmost think they were sharks....lol......I have seen some monsters in there and i mean really big so i know he or she is out there........ Moosebunk okay thats just wrong......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well lew they really are alot of fun to catch these fish. I probably spent 35 to 40 minutes in total with this fish last night. I had an absolute blast, when they get to this size they really can put up on hell of a scrap. Maybe you should give it a shot lew even if its just once. You might change your mind. & thanx hun. F3 & MATTK Thankyou. Beans thankyou..........Maybe i should try and get Photoz to come take a trip down to my neck of the woods and fish for some carp.
