the carp master strikes

[Terry]

I had to go down to lebarons to return a transducer and pick up the right one for my x67c on Saturday day morning

I must say it was a good experience, seems customer service is back a Lebarons..wonder when that happened

 

 

got back and thought what the heck, so I took the folding boat down to the river for a little crappie fishing....

many boats were by the trees so I went under the bridge...not many crappie were being caught but I saw a few real big ones brought in

 

but not by me

 

they were using minnows

 

I was using plastic..that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

 

after about 20 mins I see the float go down and the fight is on...well not really what ever it was, it was small...yup

 

the prize was a 7" perch....everyone one else was catching 13" crappie and I get a stunted perch..story of my life

 

 

but hey I am out to relax so who cares....

 

I did get into some crappie...small crappies

 

 

 

but they were fun to catch

 

didn't I call this thread something about "carp master"

 

 

so as time goes on the float goes down and takes off fast

 

I set the hook and say to myself " self you have got a bass on there, so put the camera away cause you don't need that crap"

 

well that sucker just kept running and I knew it wasn't a bass

 

it wasn't even that big but damn did it give me a fight

 

I just might have to look into this carp fishing the guys have been talking about

 

I wonder if there is the Carp Masters Classic on ESPN

 

 

 

so where is it I by that corn stuff

 

anyway...good way to spend a few hours on a Saturday
