pikeie Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 well off agian to one of our favrioute largie spots on simcoe. we havent givin the smallies much of a try this year we've had to much fun in the slop!! lol. so anyways we get to our spot and see that alot of the slop is now missing as it has drifted away. but there was still some pads and the thick weed beds. we start fishing the weed edge and not much happining there. we move in shallower and there are quite a few fish jumping around us. tinbanger is casting a weightless strike king zero in to some open water and notices his line move off slowly. he sets the hook and all hell breaks loose! the fish is going crazy and is pulling crazy ammounts of line. we ahve never seen a bass fight like this then i through out the thought that maybe it isnt a bass. a i sure was right. after he pulls the fish out of some weeds, a bit more of splasing and i pull out the net. which i soon relise is to small for this fish. it turns out that tinbanger has managed to hook a carp in the mouth with a SENKO type bait. so much for hair rigs and bait runner reels lol. after a few more trys with the net i finally manage to squeeze this fish into the net. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1185242771 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1185243637 this fish measured 27-28" we havent ever caught a carp so i wouldnt know the weight but from holding it i would say around 15 lbs+ and the fish took off strong soon after the first fish we were targeting came to the boat. my brother with a nice 2 lbser http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1185243732 thyen tinbanger with the next fish, another 2 1/2- 3lbser http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1185243807 then i got a nice hit had the fish on and it felt big but popped off the hook my brother get another fish and another fish is in the boat. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1185243910 and then we get a few 1 lbers and my bro gets another decent fish http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1185244232 then look at the HUGE one i catch lol http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1185244321 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1185244418 i got a nice boil behind my senko and i waited and set the hook thought it was a good fish but only another 2 lbser http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1185244599 and after that it was time to leave. we had a good day out on the water and caught somthing like 15 bass all togeather.

mepps Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 nicely done, looks like a good day on the water. I have never seen a carp hit a senko bait, have seen them hit spinner baits and Rapalas though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmtcanada Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Great report pikeie! Congrats on the new species as well. I've had a carp hit a small mepps spinner before, so I'm not surprised you got one. Looked like a great day out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
